Lirik As You Lie There

Paul McCartney

Youtube/PaulMcCartney

I used to walk past your house
Every night
I'd look up at your window
The light was on
I saw your silhouette on the blind
Do you think of me?
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?

Although we only met one time, I can't forget
The feeling that came over me
I like to think that we could be together forever (Forever, forever, forever)

As you lie across your bed
Am I there inside your head
As you lie there
As you lie there?
In the room beyond the blind
Do I ever cross your mind
As you lie there
As you lie there?

I used to walk
I used to walk
Every night I walk by your window
Am I there inside your head?
In every book you've ever read
Front and centre on your screen
In every film you've ever seen
As you lie there
Do I ever cross your mind? (Do I ever cross your mind?)

I like to fantasise I'm something in your eyes
'Cause that would mean the world to me
Just say the word and we can be together forever (Forever, forever, forever)

As you lie across the bed
Am I there inside your head
As you lie there (Lie there)
As you lie there? (As you lie there)
In the room beyond the blind (Beyond the blind)
Do I ever cross your mind (Ever cross your mind)
As you lie there (Lie there)
Oh, as you lie there? (Lie there)

Well, as you lie across the bed
Am I there inside your head
As you lie there (Lie there)
As you lie there? (As you lie there)
In the room beyond the blind (Beyond the blind)
Do I ever cross your mind (Ever cross your mind)
As you lie there (Lie there)
Baby, as you lie there? (Lie there)

Oh, as you lie across the bed
Am I there inside your head
As you lie there
Oh, as you lie there?
In the room beyond the blind
Do I ever cross your mind
As you lie there
Oh, as you lie there?

Although we only met one time, I can't forget
The feeling that came over me
I like to think that we could be together forever

Makna di balik lagu 'As You Lie There'

Lagu ini menggambarkan perasaan seseorang yang sangat terkesan setelah bertemu seseorang hanya sekali, tetapi tidak mampu melupakan momen tersebut. Ia sering berjalan melewati rumah orang yang disukainya, memandangi jendela yang menyala, dan membayangkan kehidupan orang itu dari kejauhan. Di balik rasa kagumnya, ada pertanyaan yang terus menghantuinya: apakah dirinya juga pernah dipikirkan atau dirindukan oleh orang tersebut.

Makna utamanya adalah kerinduan, harapan, dan fantasi tentang cinta yang belum terwujud. Tokoh dalam lagu membayangkan kemungkinan untuk bersama selamanya, meskipun hubungan mereka sebenarnya hampir tidak ada. Lirik yang berulang tentang “Do I ever cross your mind?” menunjukkan keraguan sekaligus keinginan kuat untuk menjadi seseorang yang berarti di hati orang yang dicintainya.
