I'm jealous of your bed sheets
They get to hear your pillow thoughts
And I'm envious of every
Part of your body that they're keeping warm
Whilst my arms are empty
Holding you all night long
Oh I wish that I could know you intimately
I wish that you would let me
Call me up directly
Say "I can't sleep without you"
Checked my voicemail but it's empty
Waking up at 3am
I can't help but wondering
Are you awake?
Are you thinking of me?
Longing to be in your bed
Counting all the words you said
And falling in deep
But ultimately
I can't compete
Want to get between you and the sheets
Cos lately
I can't make the night through baby
Got to be beside you
I'm losing sleep
Laying lonely I wish I could be your safety
Close enough to feel you, maybe
Get to know the real you
But I can't compete
I can't compete
Got green eyes for your onesie
Want to be the only one that's touching on your skin
And I'm bitter bout the pillow where your head sleeps
Cos I don't get to hear your heart beat like the linen
Bet they catch the tears that fall from your cheeks
Ooh I want to know your dreams, do your nightmares make you scream?
Give me every single secret that the sheets see without me
Waking up at 3am
I can't help but wondering
Are you awake?
But ultimately
I can't compete
Want to get between you and the sheets
Cos lately
I can't make the night through baby
Got to be beside you
I'm losing sleep
Laying lonely I wish I could be your safety
Close enough to feel you, maybe
Get to know the real you
I could give you everything you wanted
Hold you through the night till morning
Catch the tears before they're falling
But I can't compete
I can't compete
I could give you everything you wanted
Hold you through the night till morning
Catch the tears before they're falling
But I can't compete
I can't compete
Want to get between you and the sheets
But I can't compete
I can't compete
