Lyric

I changed the sheets this morning

Pulled them tight on every side

No shirt left on the pillow

No reason not to use the space

I stood back for a second

The bed looked bigger than before

I used to tell you

You were always taking more

Tonight I can sleep anywhere

No elbow in my way

No one stealing all the covers

So why am I over here?

I still sleep on my side

Even with nobody next to me

Half the bed stays empty

And I don't mean it to

I could move into the middle

Stretch out any way I like

But every night I turn the light off

And wake up on my side

You used to sleep so close

I'd tell you, "Give me room"

Then wake up in the morning

With your knee against mine

I complained about the blankets

About your pillow on my arm

Now nothing wakes me up

And I still don't sleep that well

Last night I moved my pillow

A little closer to the middle

Turned the light off

Then moved it back again

I still sleep on my side

Even with nobody next to me

Half the bed stays empty

And I don't mean it to

Every night I turn the light off

And wake up on my side

Last night I tried the middle

Just to see how it would feel

Put my pillow where I wanted

Lay there staring at the ceiling

It wasn't sad

It wasn't wrong

I just couldn't fall asleep

So sometime after two

I moved back without thinking

Do I miss you?

Yeah

Sometimes more than I admit

Last night

I almost put your pillow back

I picked it up

Then stood there with it

No

I put it in the closet

And went back to bed

I still sleep on my side

There's nobody next to me

I don't reach across the bed

I don't expect you there

I turn over in the morning

Pull the covers to my chin

Look across for a second

Then get up and start the day

[Post-Chorus]

One pillow

One blanket

I still sleep on my side

Maybe someday that will change

But tonight I turn the light off

Lie down where I always do

Pull the covers up

And don't move over

I turn onto my side

Pull my pillow closer

Close my eyes
