Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're jumping in my bed
Twisting in my head
Leave me
I'm having touble breathing
You're sitting on my chest
I sure could use the rest
It's you
Why's it always you and never me
Never dared to let my feelings free
Why's it always you and never me
Never cared too much for honesty
I'm having trouble sleeping
I'm thinking of what you said
Of all the tears being shed
Leave me
It's you
Why's it always you and never me
Never dared to let my feelings free
Why's it always you and never me
Never cared too much for honesty
It's you
Now and always you but never me
Never dared to let my feelings free
Why's it always you and never me
Never cared too much for honesty
The Perishers' song Trouble Sleeping is a melancholic song that explores the emotional turmoil of heartbreak. The first verse expresses the physical and mental distress the singer feels regarding the end of the relationship. They are having trouble sleeping and breathing, and the thoughts of the past relationship are twisting in their head. The chorus delves into the emotional aspect of the singer's turmoil. They ask why it's always the other person who seems to control the relationship and its outcome. The singer admits to having feelings for the other person but was never honest with them or themselves about them.
The second verse returns to the physical trauma the singer is experiencing because of the breakup. They are thinking of what the other person said and the tears that have been shed. The chorus repeats with the same question of why the other person always had the upper hand in the relationship. The bridge brings the song to a conclusion. The singer states that it's always been the other person in their life, but they never had the courage to be honest with themselves or the other person. The song ends with the same refrain that the singer was never concerned with honesty.
Overall, the Perishers' song Trouble Sleeping is a poignant depiction of heartbreak and the emotional and physical pain that comes with it. The singer is introspective, and the lyrics effectively convey the complexity of emotions associated with a difficult breakup.

I’m having trouble sleeping
不眠症な僕の
You’re jumping in my bed
ベットの上で君はジャンプして
Twisting in my head
頭の中をねじるんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
I’m having trouble breathing

You’re sitting on my chest
胸の上で君は座って
I sure could use the rest
確かに安息できたんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
