Unmade Bed
Unmade Bed: The Seductive Tale of Love's Illusions
Lyrics
Look who's come back home again
Returning home, possibly after facing challenges.
Loser looking for his lucky break
Character described as a loser seeking a fortunate opportunity.
This time he says he just needs a friend
Expressing a need for companionship or support.
Ain't on the run he ain't on the take
Not involved in illegal activities; not on the run or taking anything.
Can you take this door babe
Asking if the listener can open the door.
Will you just undo the chain
Suggesting the need to remove a barrier or obstacle.
Will you take your time before you
Asking the listener to be patient before engaging in a relationship.
Mix up love, his love and pain
Cautioning about potential confusion between love and pain.
Loneliness lays down his head
Loneliness is a prevalent emotion in the character's life.
Wants to get you high, better take it now
Desire to experience a heightened emotional state, urging immediate action.
A man like that's like an unmade bed
Comparing a man to an unmade bed, suggesting complexity and disorder.
Stained eyes searching for another way out
Eyes marked with stains, searching for an escape.
Does it matter if you even want this
Questioning the significance of the desire or commitment.
Maybe you just don't care
Suggesting apathy or indifference from the character.
All I know it takes just one kiss, babe
Emphasizing the transformative power of a kiss.
For you, he's never there
The person being sought is never available or present.
Hey I know it's kinda hard
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
And maybe this time it will never end
Speculating that the challenging situation may be perpetual.
Hit and run lover back in your heart
Describing a lover who comes and goes abruptly.
Answered prayers you should never have sent
Suggesting that prayers for this lover were a mistake.
Cause now that your in his arms babe
Describing the listener being in the arms of the problematic lover.
You know your just in his way
Indicating that the listener is hindering the relationship.
Suckered by his fatal charm, oh girl
Characterizing the lover as having a captivating but harmful charm.
It's time we get away
Expressing the need to escape from the current situation.
