The obsession is so intense that even when they close their eyes, they still see the person.
The song also talks about the willingness to do whatever it takes to keep the person close, even if it means telling a little lie. The singer believes that their bond is unbreakable and that no external force can come between them. The intensity of their connection is so powerful that it makes the singer feel alive.

Line by Line Meaning
Nothing but sleepless nights
I have been unable to sleep since you caught my attention.
Since you caught my eye
My insomnia began when I first noticed you.
No day goes by where you don't cross my mind
I think of you constantly and cannot get you out of my thoughts.
I try to fill my time
I attempt to distract myself from thoughts of you.
Get high and socialize
I use drugs and socializing as coping mechanisms for my feelings for you.
But I still see you
Despite my efforts, I cannot escape thoughts of you.
When I close my eyes
Even when I am sleeping, you are present in my dreams.
Still I don't mind a little lie
I am willing to tell a small lie to keep you close to me.
If it keeps you by my side
I am willing to deceive to maintain your presence in my life.
Can I keep you
I desire to have you in my life permanently.
No witchy rhyme can bind
No spell can replicate the bond we share.
A pair of souls as tight
Our connection is deep and unbreakable.
We got a bond that God herself
Even a divine power could not sever the connection between us.
Couldn't divide if she tried
Our bond is unbreakable.
Your little spark ignites
Your presence and energy light a flame within me.
A fire deep inside
My feelings for you are intense and all-consuming.
But now it's burning
My love for you has reached a level of intensity that is destructive.
Everything in sight
My emotions are overwhelming and have impacted my daily life.
With you here by my side
When you are present, I feel complete and content.
Know I can die tonight
I have no regrets because I have experienced happiness and love through you.
And not regret
I am satisfied with my life because I have had you by my side.
A single thing in life
I have lived a fulfilling life because of our connection.
Because the only time
I am truly happy when I hear you speak to me, even if it is a lie.
I ever feel alive
My feelings for you are what give me a sense of purpose and vitality.
Is when I hear you tell that naughty lie
Even though I know it is a lie, hearing you say you are staying over at a friend's satisfies me because it means you are still in my life.
You say you're sleeping at a friend's tonight
You tell me a falsehood to keep me happy and close.
Just sleeping at a friend's tonight
Your lie is small and insignificant, but it means a lot to me.
