Come Back to Bed
Anya Marina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning's a peach
Night is a pitbull
Either way, I can't abide

My car reports
To work at eight
My heart is several hours late
I can't keep up with the lovers on the street
I get my sunshine from the glow of my T.V.
I hear a waterfall is brimmin' in my eyes
You think I'm prettier, prettier when I cry

Oh me, oh my, come back to bed

Leave me alone
Or get me some action
Either way, something ain't right

I can't keep up with the singles on the scene
I get my kicks from a long-gone, lonesome dream
I saw a waterfall is brimmin' in your eyes
You're almost prettier, prettier when you lie

Oh me, oh my, come back to bed

La la la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la
La la la la la, la la la
La la la

I say you're prettier
And you're prettier
When you're mine





Oh me, oh my, come back to bed.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anya Marina's song "Come Back to Bed" paint a picture of someone who is stuck in their own head and unable to fully engage with the world around them. They describe how the morning feels like a fresh start, but the day quickly becomes overwhelming like a pitbull, and how they struggle to keep up with the pace of life. They are unable to connect with people in meaningful ways, whether it's keeping up with the lovers on the street or the singles on the scene. They find comfort in their own private world, whether it's watching TV or dreaming of something that's long gone.


The chorus, "Oh me, oh my, come back to bed," speaks to the desire to retreat from the world and find solace in the safety of a warm and familiar place. It's a plea for someone to come back and be close with them, to provide some sense of comfort and grounding. The final lines, "I say you're prettier, and you're prettier when you're mine," suggest that the singer has found someone who they feel connected to, and that being close to them is what makes them feel truly beautiful and alive.
