I Should Probably Go to Bed
Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me to get out of the house
To help me forget, to help me move on
Then I heard you're back in town
In a crowd of strangers and lovers
Someone told me that you were comin', so
I should probably turn off my phone
I should quit while I'm ahead (ah)
I should probably leave you alone
'Cause I know in the mornin' (in the mornin')
I'll be callin' (I'll be callin')
Sayin' sorry for the things I said
So I, yeah
I should probably go to bed
So I don't undo the got-over-you
That it took so long to find
'Cause all it would take
Is seein' your face and I'd forget
I should probably go to bed (ah)
I should probably turn off my phone
I should quit while I'm ahead (ah)
I should probably leave you alone
'Cause I know in the mornin' (in the mornin')
I'll be callin' (I'll be callin')
Sayin' sorry for the things I said
So I, yeah
I should probably go to bed
Before I question my decision
Is it love? I know it isn't
Now I'm all up in my head again
'Cause I know I don't
Have the self-control
To walk away if you walk in
Oh
I know, I know, I know, I know
I should probably go to bed
Ooh, I'm all up in my head (I'm all up in my head)
Ooh, I, I should go to bed (go to bed)
Ooh, I'm all up in my head (go to bed, go to bed)
Ooh, I, I should go to bed
In a crowd of strangers and lovers
Someone told me that you were comin', so
I should probably go to bed
The lyrics of "I Should Probably Go To Bed" by Dan + Shay revolve around the dilemma of trying to move on from a past lover but finding it difficult when they unexpectedly return to town. The singer's friends try to convince him to go out and forget about his past love, but then he learns of their return. He realizes that if he sees their face, he will forget about all the progress he has made in getting over them. The singer recognizes that he lacks self-control and that his desire to be with them is stronger than his will to move on. Therefore, he contemplates going to bed before he questions his decision and finds the courage to walk away if she comes back.
The song has a relatable theme that aims to capture the audience's attention by discussing the difficulty of moving on from a past love. It is a common human experience that many people can identify with, making the lyrics quite relatable. The overall mood of the song is melancholic, capturing the sense of longing and regret that the singer experiences. The song's instrumentation is minimal yet effective, with the vocals and guitar taking center stage.
