You Sleep Alone Lyrics
Oh dear, love's such a chore
Something you've got but you never show
It's like some deed left undone
Or a reap you'll never sow
It's like you'll never get it done
It's like you'll never get it done
It's like you'll never get it done
Where's your heart? where's your head?
Girl, your body's in my bed
I know it's hard to forget, every word we've said
But it's like you'll never let it go
It's like you'll never let it go
It's you'll never let it go
Oh, I know it's hard
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh
Oh my god, what a mess
Oo it is, I must confess
Every word I say to you
Swept from the floor underneath the rug
Oh it's like we'll never clean it up
it's like we'll never clean it up!
It's like we'll, never..clean it up!
Oh, I know it's hard
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh
And you sleep alone
And you sleep alone
And you sleep alone
'Cause you sleep alone!
Oh, I know it's hard
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh
Something you've got but you never show
It's like some deed left undone
Or a reap you'll never sow
It's like you'll never get it done
It's like you'll never get it done
Girl, your body's in my bed
I know it's hard to forget, every word we've said
It's like you'll never let it go
It's you'll never let it go
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh
Oo it is, I must confess
Every word I say to you
Swept from the floor underneath the rug
it's like we'll never clean it up!
It's like we'll, never..clean it up!
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh
And you sleep alone
And you sleep alone
'Cause you sleep alone!
Oh, but lover, I don't know just where you are
I've been trying to find ways to find your lover's heart
End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh
Oh I am not crumbling
Though I thought that I might from what it's done to me
It might never be the way we thought it ought to be
Lovers never sleep alone, uh oh

"you know when you get in a fight and you're laying in bed right next to each other but it's practically like you're in different states? it's also kinda about working at a relationship, making sure it doesn't just get sorta ignored. a reap you'll never sow is like expecting something to be there even if you never make it. this totally doesn't feel like it, but this is the first song written for this record. there was a period where every demo i did had crazy fast breakbeat drums like the chorus of this song. even thoughts that give me the creeps started out with really frantic tight drums. which wouldn't have worked well at all. haha."
I'm pretty sure that the lyric you're unsure of is: "Oh, I am not crumbling, though I thought that I might from what it's done to me"
"Oh I know it's hard, oh but lover I don't know just where you are I've been trying different ways to find your lover's heart End up with your cold shoulder, uh oh Oh, I am not crumbling, though I thought that I might from what it's done to me It may never be the way we thought it ought to be Lovers never sleep alone, no oh"
that's mostly what the booklet says.. with one correction because it clearly says "hard" not "far"
I'm so obsessed w/ this CD right now! haha Everyday i have a different favorite. Today is Betrayed By Bones day. =P
I like to interpret this song like this- There are two people on the verge of love. They hang out, spend the night ect. however they always sleep in the same bed. the narrator realizes his love first. He is frustrated bc the girl won't admit to love. "something you got but you never show." He doubts himself when he says "I don't know just where you are." He's not gonna give up though. He's says "lover's never sleep alone" as proof to her that she likes him back.
