Lyrics

I left my head at the end

I feel disoriented or confused, possibly due to a conversation.

Of the phone last night

My confusion or disorientation occurred at the end of a phone call last night.

I left my head by the side

I'm expressing a sense of detachment or forgetfulness about my own thoughts.

Of your bedside light

This detachment or forgetfulness is happening near your bedside light.

I can't sleep

I am having difficulty sleeping, and the cause seems to be related to the next lines.

'Cause I'm cutting my teeth on you

I am facing challenges or difficulties, metaphorically portrayed as cutting my teeth, and the source of this struggle is you.

'Cause I'm thinking about

I am preoccupied with thoughts about something or someone (unspecified).


'Cause I've got a job

I have a job, but I am not actively engaged in it or finding satisfaction from it.

But I don't work

I emphasize that I don't work despite having a job.

No, I don't work

Reiteration that I don't work.

And I've got a car

I own a car, but I don't use it for driving.

But I don't drive

I lack a sense of direction or purpose in using the car.

So I'll see you on the other side

I suggest meeting or connecting in another realm or circumstance, symbolized as "the other side."


I make my bed on the floor

I arrange my sleeping space on the floor, indicating a simple or unsettled lifestyle.

Where I stood last night

I position myself where I was standing the previous night.

I make my bed in the glow

I create my sleeping space in the presence of morning light.

Of the morning light

The morning light may symbolize a new day or clarity after a period of confusion.

I can't sleep

Similar to line 5, I am struggling to sleep, and it seems connected to the following lines.

'Cause I'm cutting my teeth on you
