Behind the FAWM Series #9 - "Your Side of the Bed"

The worst kind of argument is the one you don't even know you are in.

This is especially bad when you have to go to sleep next to the person you are arguing with.

..or, don't know you are arguing with.

Had I not just finished Mittens and Magnets when I read this title, it might have turned into a more lighthearted song.

However, I had just worked out all my cutesy, so "Your Side of the Bed" became a little more...complicated.

Just like the argument you don't know you're in.

Your Side of the Bed

Title suggested by Wendy Twit

Your side of the bed
Perfect indentation
Heavy from your frame
From the dreams inside your head

Lying next to me
A different expectation
A thousand miles away
From me, on the other side

I can’t close my eyes
You can’t see my side

You’ll sleep, keeping the peace
And I’ll be right here, ready to fight
You fall, you fall
Farther away from me
You’ll sleep keeping the peace
And I will wait here, ready to fight
You wait it out from your side

You fall
You fall
You fall
Farther and farther
You fall
You fall
Farther away from me

You’ll sleep, keeping the peace
And I’ll be right here, ready to fight
You fall, you fall
Farther away from me
You’ll sleep keeping the peace
And I will wait here, ready to fight
You wait it out

Your side of the bed
Different expectations
A thousand miles away
From me, on the other side
