Your New Twin Sized Bed

Album: Narrow Stairs (2008)

  • You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
    With a single pillow underneath your single head
    I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need
    Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free

    And I hope you have more luck with this than me

    You used to think that someone would come along
    And lay beside you in a space that they belong
    But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new
    What's the point of holding onto what never gets used?

    Other than a sick desire for self-abuse

    And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
    It's like your some kind of hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye

    You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
    You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed Writer/s: BENJAMIN GIBBARD, NICHOLAS HARMER
