Text: Conor Oberst. Outer South. Air Mattress.
I wanna sleep on the air mattress with you
And let the air leak out, what won't I do?
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
I can feel it when your heart beats, I do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
It's under covers where it all begins
And we pretend that we are just friends
But when the others fall asleep that ends
We become lovers once again, we do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
My dreams they have a holiday
My lungs they twist the night away
And even if I stay away I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours, I still get rest for hours
And even if there was a king size bed
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself in the darkest room
Just know that no matter what the options are I choose
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
And let the air leak out, what won't I do?
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
I can feel it when your heart beats, I do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
It's under covers where it all begins
And we pretend that we are just friends
But when the others fall asleep that ends
We become lovers once again, we do
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
My dreams they have a holiday
My lungs they twist the night away
And even if I stay away I still get rest for hours
I still get rest for hours, I still get rest for hours
And even if there was a king size bed
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
All by myself in the darkest room
Just know that no matter what the options are I choose
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
The air mattress with you
