Tegan and Sara – When I Get Up Lyrics 15 years ago
I love this song too, but because it's so applicable to my girlfriend and I. She is a light sleeper, so if I have to get up for work before she does, she always gets up with me any way. But I sleep like a rock, so when she gets up before me I always sleep through it. That line is probably why I like this song so much. And also because I first heard it while my girlfriend and I were working through a long distance thing while I was away for 2 years for my Masters. It was so applicable, with that feeling of "On the road I sleep alone and I can't wait until I'm home." That's exactly how I felt.

Tegan and Sara – All You Got Lyrics 15 years ago
My POV:
The verse: her confusion is in the night
that I stumbled
it's in the morning that I
that I struggled
because I start to forget but
she will always remember
the kind of girl who laughs and says
"get up off your knees,"
Sara is saying that this girl is confused at night, when they are together sexually. During the day the girl is straight, that's why there's no confusion for her during the day. But Sara struggles in the morning, because that's when she wakes up next to her friend and realizes she actually likes her in a real, not just experimenting kind of way. But the girl just wants to laugh it off and forget about it.
The rest of the song feels very sexual to me, and is more likely describing what happens when they are fooling around. I think it is showing the learning curve, of your first few times with someone and figuring out what they like. The girl has to tell Sara what she wants still (hard, fast, up) and Sara likes being needed and wanted, especially in that way.
So all in all, I think it's a coming to terms with your sexuality song, even if the girl you are experimenting with doesn't feel the same way.
