During his Live From Home live stream show on 3/21/20, Ben Gibbard said “There’s no sadder short story than a grown man sleeping in a twin-sized bed and this image kind of crossed my mind and I had to follow it where it led.”
[Verse 1]
You look so defeated, lying there
In your new twin-sized bed
With a single pillow underneath
Your single head
I guess you decided that that old queen
Was more space than you would need
And now it's in the alley behind your apartment
With a sign that says it's free
[Chorus 1]
But I hope you have more luck
With this than me
[Verse 2]
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
And what's the point of holding onto
What never gets used?
[Chorus 2]
Other than a sick desire
For self-abuse
[Bridge]
And I try not to worry
But you've got me terrified
It's like you're in some kind of hurry
To say goodbye, to say goodbye
To say goodbye
[Outro]
You look so defeated, lying there
In your new twin-sized bed
You look so defeated, lying there
In your new twin-sized bed
