Bedroom
Mabel Lyrics

Bedroom, bedroom, bedroom
The repeated line sets the scene of the song's focus on a sexual relationship that is confined to the bedroom.

You can only see me from the waist down
The singer implies that their partner only values their physical appearance and uses them for sexual gratification.

And I know that you can only want me when I lay down
The singer recognizes that their partner only desires them for sex and not for any emotional connection.

You only ever need me when the light's out
The singer's partner only has interest in them when they are in a sexual context and not when lights are on or in a public setting.

Now I'm stuck in the dark
The singer feels trapped in this relationship where they cannot get out of the confined sexual boundaries set by their partner.

'Cause you've taken it too far
The singer blames their partner for going too far with their sexual objectification and lack of emotional connection.

So I broke your guitar up against your television

And I smashed every glass that you had in your kitchen

Why don't we turn off our phones for the weekend?

Don't tell your friends that we haven't been sleeping

Two days of the week

I was your main thing
The singer was their partner's main focus during those two days of the week.

'Cause soon enough, I found out that the other days were taken

So I don't believe a word that you've been saying

Telling me to come over, but you know that I wasn't sober when I

Tension in my body

A light reflecting off of me

Don't we look beautiful? (Oh)

So put your hands upon my body

The sheets around me softly
