Wet Blankets
No Dry Comfort: Raspberry Pie's Wet Blankets Express Nightly Struggles
Lyrics
Passed out, I'm on the pull out couch
Passed out, sleeping on the pull-out couch.
Scratchy pillows under my head
Uncomfortable with scratchy pillows under the head.
Sofa, it doesn't suck for now
The sofa is currently acceptable, but the preference is for a bed.
Though I rather would be sleeping in bed
Expressing a desire to sleep in a bed instead of the current arrangement.
Switch over to the dryer
Switching attention to the dryer after laundry is done.
When the laundry is done
Completing laundry tasks, possibly a solo effort.
It's up to me, it used to be
Responsibility shift, where the speaker used to be reminded by someone else.
That you were the one
Referring to a previous time when someone else played a reminder role.
That always would remind me
Reflecting on the past when someone else was reliable for reminders.
Now I can't get it right
Struggling to get things right now that there's no external reminder.
I'm gonna be sleeping on wet blankets tonight
Anticipating an uncomfortable night of sleeping on wet blankets.
Cat nappin' on the bedroom floor
Napping on the floor with a makeshift mattress.
Mattress made of carpeted shag
Describing a less-than-ideal mattress made of carpeted shag.
Don't treat me right, cause my neck is sore
Feeling mistreated, possibly physically, as the neck is sore.
Tonight has been a terrible drag
Characterizing the night as terrible and dragging.
Switch over to the dryer
Returning attention to the dryer after completing more tasks.
When the laundry is done
Completing laundry tasks independently.
It's up to me, it used to be
Reflecting on a time when someone else used to share responsibilities.
That you were the one
Recalling a past when someone else would be the reminder.
That always would remind me
Nostalgic about someone else being reliable for reminders.
Now I can't get it right
Struggling to get things right without external reminders.
I'm gonna be sleeping on wet blankets tonight
Anticipating another uncomfortable night of sleeping on wet blankets.
Don't need pneumonia from sleeping in sheets
Avoiding health issues like pneumonia from damp sheets.
That leave me feeling colder from my head to my feet
Expressing discomfort from sheets making the speaker feel colder.
It's getting late, I've got a busier day
Noting the lateness and preparing for a busy day tomorrow.
Tomorrow so I might just pass out in them anyway
Considering the possibility of passing out in damp sheets due to exhaustion.
4:30, And I'm finally out
At 4:30 AM, finally getting some rest with no other option.
Left with no alternative choice
Being left with no alternative choice but finding it suitable for sleep.
Suits me, at least I'm getting some sleep
Finding contentment in getting some sleep despite a moist comforter.
Even though my comforter's moist
Highlighting the discomfort of a moist comforter.
Switch over to the dryer
Returning to the routine of switching to the dryer after laundry.
When the laundry is done
Completing laundry tasks independently once again.
It's up to me, it used to be
Reflecting on a time when someone else used to share responsibilities.
That you were the one
Recalling a past when someone else would be the reminder.
That always would remind me
Nostalgic about someone else being reliable for reminders.
Now I can't get it right
Struggling to get things right without external reminders.
I'm gonna be sleeping on wet blankets tonight
Anticipating another uncomfortable night of sleeping on wet blankets.
