The fifth track of Soul Searching, Bazzi’s first mixtape. “Can We Go Back to Bed?” is more or less a heartbreak song, dedicating it to Bazzi’s current girlfriend, Renee Herbert. Although there is nothing wrong with their relationship, this song is written in way if they had just broke up suggesting...
[Chorus]
Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up
[Verse 1]
I hate that we been so distant 'cause you know that I love you
Traveled 36 hours just to kiss you and hug you
You're so far, and all I want is to touch you
Smell your cheeks, you know the weird ways I loved you
And now we falling apart and it's killing me slowly
I'm not ready for another girl to touch me or hold me
We was more than lovers, you were my homie
Remember late, late nights, me, you, Annie and Kobe
I'm so obsessed with your spirit, I think that you need to hear it
You always doubtin' yourself, you way more than your appearance
I think album money made you
Beautiful, beautiful angel, perfection in every angle
Now losing you is so painful, damn
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm not Mr. Perfect
I know I left you there hurtin'
I was just focused on workin'
And manifestin' my purpose
And now I'm beaten and burnin'
You know that you are my person
You know that you are my person, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I miss your mom and your dad (And your dad)
Your sisters, brothers, all of that (All of that)
Remember Christmas-time by the pool
I never, ever had a family so that shit was cool
Yeah, I felt like one of they own
I wish we spent more time together, wish you lived in my home
Yeah, I wish I wasn't so busy, I wish that you could be with me
I wish you lived in my city, man
But, I just want you to know
That we should try and make this work 'cause I die watchin' you go
If I see you with another guy, I think I'd explode
Thinkin' 'bout you with somebody made my stomach go, go
[Chorus]
Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up
