Sleep Tight Lyrics

Sleep Tight lyrics

Tarnqvist/Svenre)



For whatever reason

I could never care to ask you

You would never come and take my time

whenever you'd desire to

Be a holy angel or a very earthly man

Let's just stay together here

and do as best we can



And just for a moment

I imagined it was mutual

How could it have been

when all I wanted was to please you

It's all contradictions

so I'll disconnect the phone

Stay under the blanket

and pretend nobody's home



So good night, sleep tight

and don't let the bedbugs bite you or eat you,

or tell you what you ought to do



Nothing here has changed

except the wallpaper with rosebuds

I'm the same as ever,

and my neighbours with the strange thuds

Something here is glowing

I'm afraid it might be me

I'm afraid there's no such

thing as it was meant to be



So good night, sleep tight

and don't let the bedbugs bite you or eat you,

or tell you what you ought to do
