BED
E L E Y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spent all my time doing favors
When you needed me I made it
My friends they say that I should leave you alone
Guess this is the part of the show where we start over
Start all over

So take my hand
We should probably end this but we know that we can′t
We don't really love no more we love company
And when you come to me
I give you all of me
But we both know that

You know
That we′re better off alone
I'm prepared to risk all
But when you're around I reconsider
When we really both know
I got demons in my closet
Baby girl we can′t ignore the logic
Maybe we can make it as friends
Maybe we can make it all better in my bed

We can make it better in my bed
We can ignore the noise relax and clear your head
We can make it better in my bed

Want you when i′m sober
Feel like we should know by now
That's it′s over
It's just the way the history keeps repeating
We closed all the doors and pressed play this love is on consignment

So take my hand
We should probably end this but we know that we can′t
We don't really love no more we love company
And when you come to me
I give you all of me
But we both know that

You know
That we′re better off alone
I'm prepared to risk all
But when you're around I reconsider
When we really both know
I got demons in my closet
Baby girl we can′t ignore the logic
Maybe we can make it as friends
Maybe we can make it all better in my bed

We can make it better in my bed




We can ignore the noise relax and clear your head
We can make it better in my bed

The singer acknowledges that they both have their own demons to face and that they might be better off alone, but they keep coming back to each other. The lyrics suggest that the only way they can find comfort and solace is in each other's physical presence, hence the repeated refrain "Maybe we can make it all better in my bed".
