When You Fall Asleep Tonight
Dayshell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wouldn't have to wake or learn from my mistakes
Cause I love you, yes I love you

Won't you tell me it'll be alright
Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me

Baby it's not too late, caress your loving face
You're my shelter, forever

Won't you tell me it'll be alright
Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me

Won't you tell me it'll be alright
Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me

I never meant to hurt you
And so, so, so, sorry

You wouldn't have to wake or learn from my mistakes
I love you, yes I love you

Won't you tell me it'll be alright
Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me

Won't you tell me it'll be alright




Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me

Overall Meaning

The song When You Fall Asleep Tonight by Dayshell is a heartfelt and emotional plea for forgiveness and a promise of love and reassurance. The lyrics express regret for hurting someone and a desire to make things right. The singer acknowledges that he has made mistakes and caused pain, but he loves the person and wants them to know that he is sorry. He begs for forgiveness and promises to be a shelter for the person and love them forever. The repetition of the line "Won't you tell me it'll be alright/Close your eyes and magnify/Exhuming you for exhuming me" conveys the need for reassurance and a willingness to be vulnerable.


The phrase "Exhuming you for exhuming me" is particularly interesting and ambiguous. It could mean that the singer is digging deep to reconnect with the person he has hurt, or that the person has uncovered something about the singer that he needs to face. Either way, it suggests a process of emotional excavation and honesty.


Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of how important it is to take responsibility for our actions and seek forgiveness when necessary. It is also a powerful expression of love and the lengths we will go to protect and comfort those we care about.

You wouldn’t have to wait
Come learn from my mistakes
Cause I love you, yes I love you
Won’t you tell me it will be alright

Close your eyes and magnify
assuming you for assuming me
Baby it’s not to late
Come rest your love and face
In my shelter forever

Won’t you tell me it’ll be alright
Close your eyes and magnify
assuming you for assuming me ( x2 )

And I never meant to hurt you
And I’m so so so sorry

Won’t you tell me it’ll be alright
close your eyes and magnify
assuming you for assuming me ( x2 )

Close your eyes and magnify
Exhuming you for exhuming me
