“She Wants” is about being unable to sleep, while their lover is fast asleep
Dazed Digital: What’s the story behind ‘She Wants’?
Joseph Mount: It’s about being up late worrying about things whilst your other half is sleeping soundly and probably having wonderful dreams.
[Verse 1]
She sleeps so soft, so soft I tread
Arranging papers around the bed
And if she's dreaming deep tonight
I lie with her by reading light
A glass of water by her side
And gone are hopes of getting tired
[Chorus]
I call the shots 'til you wake up
Count every second on every clock
It’s getting late, and that I know
The hours come, the hours go
[Verse 2]
Them twitching legs, them twitching arms
And there you're lying, your make-up on
And girl, if you're dreaming deep tonight
I'll lie with you by reading light
A glass of water by your side
And gone are hopes of getting tired
[Chorus]
I call the shots 'til you wake up
Count every second on every clock
It’s getting late, yeah that I know
The hours come, the hours come
[Outro]
The hours come, the hours come
The hours come, the hours come
The hours come, the hours come
The hours come, the hours come
