[Verse 1] Alarm on the dresser Blinking red and rude One foot hits the carpet Then I fold in two My blanket’s got my name on it My bones say stay awhile I stare at the ceiling And it stares back, quiet and mild [Pre-Chorus] I count the cracks in the plaster I count the rain on the pane If I move, the whole day starts And I’m not ready again [Chorus] I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed The sheets hold me down Like a secret I said I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed Baby, don’t ask me how I just can’t get out of bed [Verse 2] Pill bottle on the nightstand Glass of water gone cold Socks on the floor by the heater Like they lost their nerve and rolled My phone keeps lighting up With a life I can’t attend I thumb the screen to silence Then I’m under here again [Pre-Chorus] I know the sun is waiting I know the world won’t fade But my body’s got a lock on Every plan I made [Chorus] I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed The sheets hold me down Like a secret I said I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed Baby, don’t ask me how I just can’t get out of bed [Bridge] Maybe later, maybe noon Maybe when the room feels small Maybe when my heart stops racing Maybe when I don’t feel small So I turn my face to the window Let the dust do its slow dance One deep breath, one tiny promise Maybe this is my first chance [Final Chorus] I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed The sheets hold me down Like a secret I said I can’t get out of bed I can’t get out of bed Baby, don’t ask me how I just can’t get out of bed [Outro] One foot, then the other One more inch of light Maybe tomorrow I’ll rise up Maybe not tonight
