[Verse 1]
If you wanna take me
Go ahead and try my head
Experience is nothing compared to
The sleep paralysis in my bed
If you wanna love me
Try to get inside my brain
Experience is nothing compared to
The nights I'm always up so late
[Pre-Chorus]
Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die
[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
[Post-Chorus]
If you wanted to
If you try to
[Verse 2]
Wishing I still had my dreams
Late night started, take up space
'Cause every time I try to remember
Lack of sleep takes half my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die
[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
Use some pesticides and throw it in my brain
If you want to, only if you want to
Bed bugs keep me up at night and I'm going insane
If they try to, only if they try to
[Post-Chorus]
If you wanted to
If you try to
[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
Use some pesticides and throw it in my brain
If you want to, only if you want to
Bed bugs keep me up at night and I'm going insane
If they try to, only if they try to

How did this song come about?
I recorded this song 2018, around kind of end of summer-ish. And yeah, I don’t know how long it took for it to finish, but I guess it’s just guitars and drums. I just played guitar, got my friend to play drums. I wrote the song in my house, so I wrote the lyrics. The song is about not being able to...
What inspired the song?
People have the perception that it’s a love song, but it’s not. It’s literally just how I can’t sleep at night. I have trouble going to sleep. I had to do counseling for it. I had to fill in this stupid table. When I slept and how often I woke up every night, in one night. And yeah, it was just beca...
What have fans' reactions been like?
It’s very strange how much people care about the song and how much people like and give a crap about me. It’s very strange, but I’m very grateful. I’m very glad they do. I wrote it for myself, and if people get it then that’s just, that’s just a plus.
Do you still have trouble sleeping?
Well, my counselor said to meditate and listen to some music to help me sleep, but I never did, which is just really bad. But probably the reason why people think it’s a love song is because in the song I talk about how I want my boyfriend to kind of, you know, stay in bed with me because he’s kind...
