I don't think that this song is necessarily about a one night stand that involves the singer. If you look at the part where he mentions one night stands... Ill pull apart this possibility, from one night stands, you give it away for just one night, ill give you all i had. ...He uses a near future tense verb, "give" not the past tense verb "gave", which suggest that he is simply stating the action that she does to other guys in general. Overall however, this verse uses an odd combination of grammar. But I think the song itself is more about a girl that he likes, but he knows that she tends to leave guys after one night and he's trying to help her, but in the process he's getting hurt himself. I think this simply because the other songs they have written are about God, and it wouldn't make sense to write a song about one night stands. Unless, of course, he is regretting the fact that he made the mistake of sleeping with her, then I could understand. |

This song is about a wife cheating on her husband with another man. Lay down your head, and sleep with me tonight, lay in this bed.-The husband telling the wife to not go out and meet her other lover, but instead sleep with her own husband Recall the black book, I'll forget you.-Black book is a list of the guy/guys shes seeing. Complaining to myself to leave this,-He keeps telling himself to just leave her, yet he can't for some reason behind my smile, will be a lie, for why you are gone.-Everytime the wife leaves he puts on a smile for her even though he knows she's going to see the other man Come on have some selfless-ness, don't give into arrogance. Sleep with peace tonight,-Telling the wife to stop only thinking of herself and not to be cheating on him and have peace in terms of not having to worry about her husband finding out. (I'm waiting for the day) We're gonna win this fight, (you've found your better man, I've been waiting for the day) We're gonna win this fight.-He's telling her that he'll help her with her problem if she'll stay home with him and not go cheating, and that he recognizes he has a part in this as well and needs to help her Don't worry, I've let you go, long before you left me.-In the end he realizes that she won't change, and most likely leaves her Although the song talks about depressing things, and you would expect he would be angry, most of the singing is done in a remorseful, empathetic way, where he is both battling with himself to decided weather or not to leave her, while at the same time giving her chances to redeem herself and that he'll take her back if she stops |
