The narrator in each source wonders whether a woman is dreaming of him, hoping apparently that this reveals a real, if unexpressed, expression of desire. Meleager: Does she take tears to bed, kiss an elusive dream of me, that she clasps to her breast?

Can you see me
Floating above your head
As you lay in bed
Thinking about everything
That you did not do
Cause saying I love you
Has nothing to do with meaning it
And I don’t trust you
Cause every time you’re here
Your intentions are unclear
I spend every hour waiting for a phone call
That I know will never come
I used to think you were the one
Now I’m sick of thinking anything at all
[Chorus]
You ain’t ever coming back to me
That’s not how things were supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Do you remember
The way we used to melt
Do you remember how it felt
When I touched you
Cause I remember very well
And how long has it been
Since someone you let in
Has given when I gave to you
And at night when you sleep
Do you dream I would be there
Just for a minute or two
Do you
[Chorus]
Heartache, heartache I just have so much
A simple love with a complex touch
There is nothing you can say or do
I called to let you know I’m through with you
Listen to the song:
Through with you
