Lyrics
Tryin' to sleep with you there
Expressing the difficulty of sleeping when the person is present.
Feel like a child when it's snowing outside tryin' to pay attention in class
Feeling a childlike excitement similar to the joy of snow outside or the challenge of paying attention in class.
But your body's so new and the way that you move back and forth inside the spoon
Describing the newness of the partner's body and the sensual movement inside a spooning embrace.
Mmm mmm mhmm
Non-verbal expression, possibly indicating satisfaction or pleasure.
Why does it have to be so hard
Expressing the difficulty of a situation.
When you want what I want and we're both right here
Highlighting the shared desire and proximity of both individuals.
Tryin' to sleep with you there
Reiterating the challenge of sleeping with the partner present.
Try to keep my breath off your neck and my hands off your hair
Struggling to control physical impulses, avoiding intimate contact.
And with every sound you make, I pray to God you're awake
Expressing a desire for the partner to be awake, suggesting a longing for connection.
So I can stake my claim
Expressing a desire to claim the partner, possibly romantically or emotionally.
Why does it have to be so hard
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation.
When you want what I want and we're both right here
Highlighting the shared desire and proximity of both individuals once again.
So why
Pondering the difficulty despite both parties being present.
These minutes like hours
Describing the perception of time as dragging when desires align.
When you want what I want and we're both right here
Reiterating the challenge despite the shared desire and proximity.
With these inches like miles
Metaphorically emphasizing the small physical distance as if it were vast.
With these minutes like hours
Repeating the idea that time feels prolonged in the current situation.
These inches likes miles
Reiterating the metaphor of small physical distances feeling significant.
These minutes like hours
Repeating the idea that time feels prolonged, comparing it to hours.
Why does it have to be so hard
Restating the challenge despite the shared desire and proximity.
When you want what I want
Reiterating the shared desire and presence of both individuals.
We're both right here
Emphasizing the coexistence of desires and physical proximity.
So why
Pondering the continued difficulty despite the closeness of both individuals.
These inches like miles
Repeating the metaphor of small physical distances feeling significant.
When you want what I want and
Expressing the challenge of being close to the desired person.
I'm right here and you're right here
Emphasizing the physical proximity of both individuals in the challenging situation.
