Things I Say When You Sleep
Sleepless Confessions: Love's Whispers in 'Things I Say When You Sleep'
Lyrics
Sunday night I'm lying on your body
Sunday night, physically close and intimate
With my legs locked round you
Being securely intertwined
Like the safest kinda sorry I could give
An expression of apology with deep care
Cause I know I let you down before
Awareness of past disappointment caused to the partner
Dimmed light coming in from the hallway
Subdued lighting from another room
You're in your black jeans I'm in white lingerie
Contrasting attire of partners, setting a scene
And it's 3am, I'm lying awake thinking
Being awake late, lost in thoughts
That when I'm sad my eyes run like streams
Her tears when sad versus partner's emotional restraint
But yours stay dry as you clench your teeth
Observing partner's emotional composure
And that's how I know that you're the one for me
Recognition of partner's significance
Cause I think about you on the train
Thoughts of the partner during routine activities
Love how you say my second name
Appreciation for partner using her second name
It seems without you I'm insane
Suggesting a dependency on the partner
Now you're asleep but I'm gonna say it anyway
Confessing love despite the partner being asleep
I love you
Repeated declaration of love
I love you
-I love you
-Moonlight on a sun kissed body
Describing a romantic scene with moonlight
Put your ink on my skin
Symbolic reference to leaving a mark on her
Till it comes off on me
Their connection and shared experiences
Ooh- the tv's on again
Mention of the TV turning on, distraction
They're dead
Abrupt change in the TV program
There's zombies in the bed oh
Metaphorical reference to relationship issues
That when I'm sad my eyes run like streams
Reiteration of emotional contrast between them
But yours stay dry as you clench your teeth
-And that's how I know that you're the one for me
-Cause I think about you on the train
Thinking about the partner during travels
Love how you hate what's in your brain
Appreciating partner's opinions
Watching you sleep like I'm insane
Observing partner while asleep, feeling overwhelmed
Telling you things that I find hard to say
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing emotions
Like I love you
Repeated confession of love, struggling to express
Like I love you
-Like I love you
-Like I love you
-Remember when we'd sit out by the graves
Reflecting on past moments shared
Laughing and talking about life
Recalling joyful memories together
You took me to heaven when I had no faith
Partner's role in uplifting her spirits
And showed me what love is really like
Defining the partner's influence on understanding love
I think about you on the train
Repeated thoughts and emotions about the partner
Love how you say my second name
-Watching you sleep like I'm insane
-Telling you things that I find hard to say
-Like I love you
Continued struggle in expressing deep affection
Like I love you
-Like I love you
