Lyrics
Right now you're feeling calm
Expressing the current emotional state as calm.
With your head upon my chest

And I wake up in the morning

And I know what I should've said
Acknowledging awareness of what should have been said in a past situation.
I know what I should've said
Repetition for emphasis on the realization of missed communication.
I run my fingers down your body
Physically exploring the partner's body with fingers.
And you feel so cold
Noting the partner's coldness, possibly emotional distance.
I just want to hold you when you sleep

I put my jacket round your body

And the feeling's so old

Just hold on to that photo that you keep

Six hours with that body laying underneath my feet
Reflecting on spending six hours with the partner's body beneath the speaker.
I know you hate the distance that we keep
Acknowledging the partner's displeasure with the physical distance between them.
And I wake up in the morning
Repeating the morning realization of unspoken words.
And I know what I should've said

I know what I should've said
Repeating the awareness of what should have been said.
