[Intro — Low distorted guitar, slow electronic pulse, intimate] [Verse 1 — Low, seductive, conversational] You walk around like nothing touches you Black jacket, silver on your hands Got a reputation three streets wide And half the room already understands You know exactly how to start a fight Know exactly when to disappear But when that bedroom door clicks shut You’re suddenly softer in here [Pre-Hook — Bass deepens, vocal becomes warmer] They know the smoke They know the flame They know the trouble tied to your name But they don’t know What happens next When all that armor hits the floor [Hook — Huge dark pop-rock lift, soaring clean vocal] I’ve got the devil in my bed But he sleeps with his head on my chest Everybody says he’s dangerous I know the parts they never get Devil in my bed With his fingers tangled up in mine He can raise hell everywhere else But here He finally goes quiet Let them call you wicked Let them say what they said They don’t know the devil Like I know him in my bed [Post-Hook — Breathy vocal over pulsing synth] Come here Drop the act I know you better than that [Verse 2 — More swagger, drums driving harder] You swear too much when you’re nervous Pretend you’re bored when something hurts Tell everybody you don’t need them Then steal my hoodie like it’s yours You keep one hand around my waist While you complain about the day And every terrible thing they call you Feels a million miles away [Pre-Hook — Vocal grit building] They get the teeth They get the claws They get the version built for war I get the one Who shuts his eyes When I run my hand through his hair [Hook — Bigger guitars and drums] I’ve got the devil in my bed But he sleeps with his head on my chest Everybody says he’s dangerous I know the parts they never get Devil in my bed With his fingers tangled up in mine He can raise hell everywhere else But here He finally goes quiet Let them call you wicked Let them say what they said They don’t know the devil Like I know him in my bed [Bridge — Instruments fall to piano, bass pulse, close-mic vocal] You asked me once If I believed them All the stories All the warnings All the reasons I should leave I said— [Soft] Some of them. [Small laugh] You looked offended. But loving you never meant pretending You don’t know how to make a mess It means knowing the worst of you And still knowing That isn’t all of you [Build — Heartbeat drums, distorted guitar swelling] So bring me the temper Bring me the scars Bring me every ugly little part You don’t have to be good You don’t have to pretend Just be the man Nobody else gets [High Note — Full band erupts] COME BACK TO BED! [Final Hook — Massive, dark, romantic climax] I’VE GOT THE DEVIL IN MY BED AND I WOULDN’T TRADE HIM FOR A SAINT LET THE WHOLE WORLD KEEP ITS VERSION I KNOW THE MAN BEHIND THE NAME Devil in my bed Yeah, your halo never fit you right You can burn through every room you enter Then fall asleep beside me tonight Let them call you wicked Let them swear I’ll regret They don’t know the devil They don’t know you yet I’ve got the devil in my bed And baby That’s exactly where I want him [Outro — Guitar fades, soft sleepy vocal] Tomorrow You’ll put the armor back on. Tonight? Stay here.
