Sleep On This

Story Behind The Song

This song was actually written about our bassist and a previous relationship that he was in. All of us could see that girl he was dating was basically using him and stringing him along. This song is about his inability to see what was happening and about how the girl could not just make a decision to end it.

Lyrics

He walks behind her down the street
Shopping bags, designer jeans, those leather boots so fine
She says to him this dress is callin' out to me so, let's go inside it must be mine

It hugs her body perfectly
All the other men inside stare cleverly
But still she turns and frets, when she gets home she could regret this
Another game of wait and see

She never tells you what she wants
She never tells you what she needs
What she needs is to be satisfied, but she just don't know how to find it
So darlin' sleep on this tonight

He picked her up without a word
A stepping stone, but he don't know it seems absurd
This love he's feeling, it's so misguided, it'll never reach this heart divided
Still he'll stick around maybe

He love her til the day she died
Somethings missing every loose end left untied
They both know that they won't save this
'Nother day of promise wasted
It's your turn to wait and see

She never tells you what she wants
She never tells you what she needs
What she needs is to be satisfied, but she just don't know how to find it
So darlin' sleep on this tonight
Sleep on this tonight
Sleep on this tonight
Sleep on this tonight
