| You Me at Six – You've Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Can't believe nobodies commented yet?!? Anyways, this probably isn't correct, but this is my interpretation of the song based on what I have experienced... "I'm so glad that your lipsticks on, back seat of your best friends car, well we were onto something here." Well, the guys happy that she's wearing her lip stick so he can show everyone what he's got or done with this girl. They were obviously doing good in their relationship. "Oh no wait you will call it off and space is on the cards, who'd drink to that, i wont drink to that." This is where things start to fall apart. She keeps on calling dates off, generally avoiding him, possibly to be with someone else... he doesn't want this. "Oh Overhill will you teach me the games that you play so well and i'll drink to that, who'll drink to that?" Not too sure about this part, maybe he wants to know how she has the 'guts' to keep on leaving him waiting, how she manages to do the things she does with a clear concience. "You've made your bed, so sleep in it, and never call me again. You've made your bed, so sleep with him, but know i'm the best you'll get." Pretty simple, he's saying enough is enough, go do what you like, sleep with him if you want, just know that he'll never put up with what you do to people, and don't come crawling back to me when it all goes wrong. "I wrote this song so you would know Why i look up to everyone." He's not ashamed of what's happened, so much infact that he's written a song about it to tell everyone what this girl is capable of. "Here's a list of the things you said and i wont get over it, you want to know, you, want to know." These are all the things she said whilst they were together, all the lies she told him. Stuff like "I love you" and "We'll always be together" amongst other things. "The games that girls will play, makes me move away so i can train, train myself to trust again." He's worried that all girls are like this, and he just has to take a step back from them all and just take a break, recover from what's happened and sort himself out. "Are you on or off?" This may be relating back to when she was avoiding him, leaving him puzzled about their relationship. "These words will convince you to love again, you want to be friends, i wont do it. These words will convince you to never sleep with me again, you want to be friends, i can't do it." Basically, he's telling her to piss off. He's had enough of all of her silly little games, and he's telling her that she's no good and she just hurts people. She wants to be friends, but he cant forgive her for pulling him along and just being horrible to him. And there we go. Like I said earlier, this is probably not what the guys had in mind when they were writing this amazingly awesome song, but it seems quite relevant to what's happened in my life recently, and thought I'd take a crack at it. |
