This song is about Nicole fantasizing of a romantic night with her lover in less-than romantic accommodations.
It is the title track from her 2018 album about “the underbelly of love”.
[Verse 1]
Lay me down on a heart shaped bed
Pretend it's our wedding, pretend we just met
Pretend we're in one of those movies
They rent in the back of every seedy place
We pass on the interstate
The signs say "Heaven waits
On the other side"
[Chorus]
Just hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
Hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
[Verse 2]
So get the room with the heart shaped bed
Make something gross feel romantic
Make me so no one will ever want me again
'Cause when I sleep with faith, I only
Find a corpse in my arms on awakening
[Chorus]
Just hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
Hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
[Bridge]
So get the room with the heart shaped bed
Pretend it's our wedding, pretend we just met
So get the room with the heart shaped bed
Pretend it's our wedding, pretend we just met
[Chorus]
Just hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
Hold me through these lonely nights
We'll have a blue wedding tonight
