Only When You're Asleep
Love Unveiled: Emotions in Slumber
Lyrics
I love you better when you're asleep
I find my affection for you stronger when you are asleep.
And I love you tender when you can't see me
My love for you is gentle when you are unaware of my presence.
Did I read a book or did we have a story?
Uncertain whether our interaction was from a written source or a shared experience.
Did I turn the page or did we hug in this bed?
Questioning whether our connection progressed like reading a book or through physical closeness in bed.
Cause I only like you when you're asleep
Expressing a preference for your company specifically during your sleep.
That way I can imagine how you speak to me
Enjoying the ability to imagine your communication with me when you are asleep.
Love it is work, I'm overtime, don't get reward for giving up my pride
Highlighting the challenges of love, likening it to work with no immediate rewards, and the difficulty of sacrificing pride.
Cause I only like you when you're asleep
Reiterating the preference for your presence only during sleep.
I put words into your mouth that you never speak So did you comfort me, or was that another poetry?
Suggesting the act of attributing words to you that you never actually say, questioning if it was a form of comfort or just poetic expression.
Did I read a book or did we have a story?
Revisiting the uncertainty about the nature of our connection, whether it was from a book or a shared story.
Did I turn the page or did we hug in this bed?
Continuing the uncertainty, questioning if our interaction was like turning a page or embracing in bed.
Cause I only love you when you're asleep
Emphasizing the exclusive love for you during your sleep.
That way I can imagine how you speak to me
Enjoying the ability to imagine our communication during your sleeping moments.
Love it is work, I'm overtime, don't get reward for giving up my pride
Reiterating the challenges of love as work with no immediate rewards and the difficulty of sacrificing pride.
Cause I only love you when you're asleep
Reiterating the exclusive love for you during your sleep.
I put words into your mouth, that you never speak
Referencing the act of attributing words to you that you never actually speak.
So I love you better when you're asleep
Expressing a stronger love for you when you are asleep.
