"Nightingale" Interpretation

Some days are easier than other when coming up with ideas for blog topics (maybe I'm just lazy... IDK). Anyways I thought tonight I would just share a favorite song and why. It is called Nightingale by Demi Lovato and I initially fell in love with this song because of piano in background. Once I started actually listening to the lyrics I fell even more in love. My interpretation is that this is a person expressing their need for company. It's late at night, they have a restless mind shouting for someone to listen to their sorrows, wanting for someone to come along and calm their thoughts. This, of course, is just a short interpretation, but I would be interested in reading other opinions if there is anyone out there reading this that has any. (Below are the lyrics)
"Nightingale"
I can't sleep tonight
Wide awake and so confused
Everything's in line
But I am bruised
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I kinda need a hero
Is it you?

I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me
I know you're there
You could be my sanity
Bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale

Somebody speak to me
Cause I'm feeling like hell
Need you to answer me
I'm overwhelmed
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I need a star to follow
I don't know

I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby I'm a little blind
I think it's time for you to find me

Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me
I know you're there
You could be my sanity
Bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale

I don't know what I'd do without you
Your words are like a whisper cutting through
As long as you are with me here tonight
I'm good

Can you be my nightingale?
Feels so close
I know you're there
Oh, nightingale
Sing to me
I know you're there
'Cause baby you're my sanity
You bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you'll be my nightingale
