Pillow
Bebe Rexha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna feel your gaze
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna be where you are
I just wanna feel your touch
I'm not asking for too much
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna wake up where you are
I used to think that love was just so easy
But I couldn't be less right
Yeah I finally found someone perfect, just for me
Gotta fly thousands of miles, yeah
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
I need a minute to breathe you in
Just a second to taste your skin
I just gotta, I just gotta
Feel you here right next to me
Can we please just go back in time
Those lazy Sundays, you and I
'Cause every hour and every day
Is more painful when you're away
I used to think that love was just so easy
But I couldn't be less right, yeah
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
And I can't lie, babe, I'm losing my patience
Too much waiting for you
Every time that I wake up
My hands go where I'm waiting for you
I know I say that I'm fine
But I'm losing my mind
Just need to hold you
Don't take your time
Oh, baby
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
I'll be alright, just one more night
I'll be just fine, holdin' my pillow
Pretending it's you though
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Uh uh uh

The lyrics to Bebe Rexha's song "Pillow" convey the longing and yearning for someone's presence in a relationship. The singer expresses a strong desire for their partner, wanting to be close to them, feel their touch, and wake up next to them. The lyrics communicate a sense of emptiness and loneliness when they are apart, highlighting the pain and difficulty of being away from the person they love.
The first verse introduces the idea that love is not as easy as the singer once believed. Despite finding someone perfect for them, they still have to go through the hardship of being separated by distance, having to fly thousands of miles to be with each other. The chorus then acknowledges that while the singer is physically alone, they find solace in holding onto a pillow and pretending it's their partner. They express the need for just one more night with them, indicating a deep longing and impatience.
In the second verse, the singer yearns for a moment to be close to their lover, to breathe them in and feel their touch. They reminisce about the lazy Sundays spent together, emphasizing the pain and difficulty of each hour and day apart. The second chorus reiterates the singer's dependence on their pillow for comfort and the longing for their partner.
The bridge reveals the singer's inner struggle, admitting that they are losing their patience and sanity from waiting. They confess that they can't help but reach out for their partner every time they wake up, emphasizing their desperation to be with them. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, indicating that despite their temporary comfort in holding a pillow, it will never truly replace the presence of their loved one.

Finally someone wrote a song that exactly describes how it feels like to be in a LDR. When I listened to this I froze. I wanted a song that relates to what my heart screams every night.
And here you have it. Except that it sounds freaking amazing and it’s sang by a wonderful person.
