Air Mattress Lyrics
I want to sleep on the air mattress with you
And let the air leak out, what won't I do?
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
I can feel it when your heart beats
I do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
It's under covers where it all begins
And we pretend that we are just friends
But when the others fall asleep, it ends
We become lovers once again
We do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
My dreams, they have a holiday
My lungs, they twist the night away
And even if I stay away
I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours
And even if there was a king-size bed
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself, in the darkest room
Just know, that no matter what the options are
I choose . . .
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
And let the air leak out, what won't I do?
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
I can feel it when your heart beats
I do
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
And we pretend that we are just friends
But when the others fall asleep, it ends
We become lovers once again
We do
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
My lungs, they twist the night away
And even if I stay away
I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself, in the darkest room
Just know, that no matter what the options are
I choose . . .
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
The air mattress with you

Yup. by taylor. he said that he based the song about an air mattress because when you sleep on an air mattress with a girl and there's a leak or something and over night the middle of the air mattress looses it's air making the two lovers forced by gravity together by morning time.
yup. saw the dvd. good song/.

"And let the air leak out, what won't I do?" it's really... "And let the air leak out, THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH."
and
"My lungs, they twist the night away And even if I stay away"
it's really... "My LIMBS, they twist the night away And even if I stay AWAKE"
This song makes my heart melt! There was about a year where my boyfriend couldn't afford a bed, so he slept on an air mattress... Self-explanatory <3
This is probably the worst thing I have ever heard with Conor's name on it. I know it's Hollingsworth singing but good lord, it sounds like a Beach Boys throwaway with whiny vocals. Total disappointment.
You have poor judgment. Everyone can just write a feel good song now and then. Not every song needs to have some dark hidden meaning. I think the song is adorable.

This is by Taylor Hollingsworth you tool
Yes, it's written and performed by Taylor Hollingsworth, but as it's released in an album by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, and Hollingsworth is widely accepted as a member of the MVB, I don't see there's anything wrong with, in the absence of an MVB section of this website, posting these lyrics under the name of Conor Oberst. After all, people who hear the song on the album will come here to find its lyrics, not to the Taylor Hollingsworth section.

yeah, but it's on a cd with the artist credited as Conor Oberst, so chill out. jesus christ. if i was looking for the lyrics to this song i wouldve typed in Conor Oberst not Taylor Hollingsworth. You're honestly just an arrogant prick to come on here and try to act so much better by posting your comment. I'm sure the person who posted the lyrics is well aware it is not sung and was not written by conor, but this is where people would look for the lyrics. lol

I just don't like seeing artists not getting the respect they deserve, looking at the Taylor section of this site there are only a couple of song lyrics up. He's wrote some really great stuff and it deserves more recognition. I apologise for the arrogance though, I was angry at the time.

apology accepted.
apology accepted.
But still from AMG and Wiki, the song was credited to Taylor Hollingsworth as the composer..but yes it should have been pointed out that it is Taylor who sung it.
