Desperately
Robison Bruce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear you callin' my name
You're lyin' next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it's just a dream
But you left me all alone in love
And now I shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that every thing's okay, but
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I know there's no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
But I still love you desperately
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I watch the sun goin' down
There ain't nobody around
I feel the night in the breeze
I keep on tellin' myself
I don't need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
Love you desperately
Robison Bruce's song Desperately talks about a person who still longs for the presence of their past partner. Even though the partner left them in love, they still hear their voice calling their name every night. The song talks about how the person gives in to their charms and feels them in their arms, but suddenly, they disappear. The person realizes that it was just a dream and wakes up to the reality of being alone, which is devastating. The song's chorus talks about how the person still loves and wants their partner back, but they left them all alone in love, feeling helpless and wounded.
The second verse talks about how the person tries to go on with their day, but everything seems dull and meaningless without their partner. They try to pretend that everything is okay, but they cannot fool themselves. The person makes coffee for only one and turns the radio on, hoping to find something to distract them from their loneliness, but it doesn't work. The bridge of the song states that it will take them a while to heal, but they will still love their partner desperately.
Line by Line Meaning
Every night it's the same
Every night follows the same pattern for me
I hear you callin' my name
I have an auditory hallucination every night, imagining that you're calling out my name
You're lyin' next to me
In my dream, you're lying beside me
I give into your charms
In my dream, I succumb to your alluring personality
You disappear in my arms
In my dream, you vanish from my embrace
I realize it's just a dream
I understand that it's a mere figment of my imagination
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
I desire your touch with intense urgency
But you left me all alone in love
You abandoned me and gave me unrequited love
And now I shake the sleep from my head
I wake up and try to shake off the effects of sleep
And try to crawl out of bed
I attempt to leave my bed physically
Today is just another day
Today is a regular day
I make the coffee for one
I make coffee for myself only
I turn the radio on
I play music to fill the silence
Pretend that every thing's okay, but
I act as if everything is fine, but
And now I know there's no reason to smile
I realize that I have no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
It will take me some time to get over my feelings for you
But I still love you desperately
Despite everything, I still love you with a sense of urgency
And now I watch the sun goin' down
I observe the sunset
There ain't nobody around
There's nobody nearby
I feel the night in the breeze
I experience the sensations of the evening air
I keep on tellin' myself
I continue to repeat to myself
I don't need nobody else
I don't require anyone else
And I can do as I please, but
I can do whatever I want, but
I still love you desperately
Despite everything, I still love you with immense urgency
I still love you
I still have strong feelings for you
I still want you
I still desire you
Love you desperately
I love you with a sense of desperation
And every night it's the same
I go through the same experience every night
I hear you callin' my name
I have an auditory hallucination every night, imagining that you're calling out my name
I still love you desperately
Despite everything, I still love you with a sense of urgency

Bruce, I love ur music and I love the way you incorporate theory into the way you sing...don't even have to be in your band to know what chord you are going to if you listen to the lyrics...you just waltz the musicians right into the next chord...Genius!
