Middle Of The Bed
Lucy Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I sleep in the middle of the bed
You don't know, is it fine to hold my hand?
I sleep in the middle of the bed
Sun slips through my cold hands

Do you really want me back?
Do you really want me back?
'Cause I'm over it, over you
All over the town they say I love you
I'm over it, I'm over you
All over the town
They say I love you, yeah
They say I always will
They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

I talk to myself at night
Better still when the lights are turned out
I talk inside my head
Better if nobody knows what I said

Do you really want me back?
Do you really want me back?

'Cause I'm over it, over you
All over the town they say I love you
I'm over it, I'm over you
All over the town
They say I love you, yeah
They say I always will
They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

It's all over the town
You're spreading the word
It's all over the town
You're spreading the word

If you knew me at all
You should all know my answers
If you knew me at all
You should all know my answers

If you knew me at all
You should all know my answers
If you knew me at all
You should all know my answers

They say I love you, yeah
They say I always will
They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

They say I love you, yeah
They say I always will
They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

Overall Meaning

Lucy Rose's song "Middle of the Bed" is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship that leaves the singer feeling lost and alone. The opening lines, "I sleep in the middle of the bed, you don't know, is it fine to hold my hand?" highlight the sense of ambiguity and uncertainty that the singer is feeling with her partner. She is unsure if they still have a connection or if she is just clinging to a romanticized memory of what once was.


The lyrics "Do you really want me back?" also demonstrate the singer's insecurity and doubt in the relationship. She is left wondering if her partner truly wants to be with her or if she is just a source of comfort to them. As the song progresses, the singer admits that she has accepted the end of the relationship and is moving on, though the wounds of the past still sting.


The lines "All over the town they say I love you" can be interpreted as a commentary on how it seems everyone else is moving on, while the singer is still hurting. Similarly, the repetition of "They say I love you, yeah" underscores the painful memory of past declarations of love that now feel hollow.


In summary, "Middle of the Bed" is a song about heartbreak, doubt, and the conflicting emotions that come with trying to move on from a past relationship.

I sleep in the middle of the bed
You don't know, is it fine to hold my hand?
I sleep in the middle of the bed
Sun slips through my cold hands

Do you really want me back?
Do you really want me back?

Cause I'm over it, over you
All over the town they say I love you
I'm over it, I'm over you
All over the town
They say I love you, yeah
They says I always will
They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

I talk to myself at night
Better still when the lights are turned out
I talk inside my head
Better if nobody knows what I said

Do you really want me back?
Do you really want me back?

Cause I'm over it, over you

They say I love you, yeah
These wounds, they won't heal

It's all over the town
Your spreading the rumors
It's all over the town
Your spreading the rumors

If you knew me at all
You should all know my answers

One of the most underrated artists ever, she should have much more followers and views. I had the change of watch her perform live around 12 years ago in Mexico when she came with Bombay Bicycle Club, it was freakin amazing. I just love every single one of your songs Lucy.
