It sound to me like his better half is getting the best of him, and he'd rather just have that side he dosen't understand go to sleep and be over with. "I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me." This whole song could be about one huge internal conflict with the sucessfull and sad Elliot Smiths. Thats what I see when I read those lyrics and apply them to my life. So sad... but what an awesome song... what a great gift he had to share with us.
