By the Bed
Jonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lover layyour jacket right there by the stairs
And lay your love down on the bed there
Let dawn admit that your eyes are silver and blue
Let your body talk for you herw
As that day turned to grey
And our hearts went there ways
I always thought "one day..."
On my way to being next to you
Tell me once again you think this might be true
On my way to being a part of you
Tell me now and then you think this might come true
Just not today
A finger tip away from hands down affair
Both feet in
The hearts are scared




Let the night immit beautiful musk of lust
Let my body talk for you here

I see you calling
I didn't wanna leave you like that
It's five in the morning, yeah, yeah
A hundred on the dash
'Cause my wheels are rolling
Ain't taking my foot off the gas
And it only took the one night
To see the end of the line
Staring deep in your eyes, eyes
Dancing on the edge, 'bout to take it too far
It's messing with my head, how I mess with your heart
If you wake up in your bed, alone in the dark
I'm sorry, gotta leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
I'm so good at knowing
Of when to leave the party behind
Don't care if they notice, yeah, yeah, no
I'll just catch a ride
I'd rather be lonely, yeah
Than wrapped around your body too tight
Yeah, I'm the type to get naked
Won't give my heart up for breaking
'Cause I'm too gone to be stayin', staying' (dancing on)
Dancing on the edge, 'bout to take it too far
It's messing with my head, how I mess with your heart
If you wake up in your bed, alone in the dark
I'm sorry, gotta leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
Dancing on the edge, take it too far
Messing with my head, how I mess with your heart
I'm sorry, alone in the dark
I'm sorry
Ay, ay, leave before you love me
