Talking in Your Sleep
The Romantics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreamin' about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleepin' in a spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're tellin' me the secrets that you just can't hide
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
When you close your eyes, and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
The Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep" is a song about the secrets that are revealed when someone talks in their sleep. The song describes how the singer can hear the things that the person they are holding is dreaming about. When their heart is open and the truth comes out, the person confesses their love and need for the singer. The singer assures us that they know the person’s deepest desires because they hear them in the night.
The second verse of the song shows that the person continues to reveal secrets and can't seem to hide them from the singer. Even when they are sleeping in the spotlight, exposed yet unaware, their dreams and desires are there for the singer to hear. The final verse reminds listeners that everyone is a mystery, and when someone sleeps, everything about them becomes even more enigmatic.
The song shows the power of someone's unconscious mind to reveal their true feelings and emotions, even if they are trying to hide them. The lyrics communicate that what someone feels when they are sleeping can be an honest and unguarded expression of their deepest self.

When you close your eyes and go to sleep
As you drift into slumber
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
Lulled by the rhythm of your pulse
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
I'm attuned to your subconscious thoughts
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out
When you reveal your innermost feelings
You tell me that you want me
You express your desire for me
You tell me that you need me
You articulate your dependence on me
You tell me that you love me
You declare your affection for me
And I know that I'm right
I am certain of my interpretation
Cuz I hear it in the night
As I listen to your slumber
I hear the secrets that you keep
I discern the hidden topics of your thoughts
When you're talking in your sleep
When you speak unconsciously
When I hold you in my arms at night
As I embrace you in bed
Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight
You are the center of my attention as you slumber
And all your dreams that you keep inside
Your private hopes and aspirations
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
You disclose the thoughts you conceal when awake
Everything about you is a mystery
Your essence is shrouded in intrigue

One thing that I've noticed that I REALLY love about the movies they make lately is that they at least make an attempt to give the Younger generation a glimpse of the music made back in the 80's and 90's while also giving the Older generation a chance to have a nostalgic call back to the music
@davidlemons5650
Yes. Like Stranger Things!!
But seriously, what was she thinking in her sleep, anyone know?
@IsaiahJoel-oh3re
Perfectly said. We can live it through the younger generation! I was 20 in 80 and a lead guitar player. Was soooo cool to be in rock and roll then. Best times for music with up beat songs . Wasn’t a perfect decade but the music drove us.
