Lyrics

Walking in my sleep at night

The speaker describes walking in their sleep at night.

And you can´t have me

The speaker asserts that the listener cannot possess them.

Can´t have me

Reiteration of the idea that the listener cannot have the speaker.

Ever

An affirmation that the listener will never possess the speaker.


Walking in my sleep

Repetition of the sleepwalking motif, emphasizing the speaker's unavailability.

So you can´t have me

Asserting again that the listener is unable to have the speaker.

Disappeared, gone

The speaker mentions disappearing and being gone, possibly indicating emotional distance.

You have gone out of my dreams

Expressing that the listener has departed from the speaker's dreams.


Walking in my sleep

Continuation of the sleepwalking theme with the speaker having their flesh in bed.

With my flesh in bed

The speaker is physically present in bed while sleepwalking.

Still you are there

The listener persists in the speaker's dreams despite the physical separation.

Think you´ll never let me be

Suggesting the listener may be preventing the speaker from finding peace in dreams.


Walking in my sleep

Reiteration of the sleepwalking theme and the listener's inability to have the speaker.

So you can´t have me

Restating that the listener has disappeared from the speaker's dreams.

Disappeared, gone

Reiteration of the idea that the listener can't possess the speaker.

You have gone out of my dreams

Reaffirmation that the listener has departed from the speaker's dreams.


Walking in my sleep

With my flesh in bed

The speaker is physically present in bed while sleepwalking, similar to line 12.

Still you are there

The listener continues to be present in the speaker's dreams despite physical separation.

Just get the fuck out of my dreams

An explicit desire for the listener to leave the speaker's dreams.


Walking in my sleep at night

Repetition of the sleepwalking motif, emphasizing the speaker's unavailability at night.

And you can´t have me

Restating that the listener cannot possess the speaker.

Can´t have me

Ever

A final affirmation that the listener will never possess the speaker.
