You Can Sleep Alone Tonight Songtext
von Josh Radnor

Back at the same hotel one year ago
I brought her back to this room
There′s not much to say she came back everyday
Twice that one afternoon
It wasn't just bodies but oh how our bodies tangled so effortlessly
There was much laughter before and after and sometimes in between

I wanna call her up and say
"How are you? How′s things, are you doing alright?"
Then a quiet voice, it tells me
"It's okay, you can sleep alone tonight."


I got my toothbrush set out by the sink
I might just give it a go
Then climb into bed, read a page of that novel
Or zone out on some TV show
Don't think of her shoulders her hips or her smile
That she′s just a cab ride away
She could be married or moved to a new state
Or not what to see your dumb face

I could call her up, be charming
Say "Remember you and me? What a delight"
Then a quiet voice, it tells me
"It′s okay, you can sleep alone tonight."

I could say the curtain is open
You don't wanna miss this moonlight
Then a holy voice it tells me
"You′re okay, you can sleep alone tonight
You can sleep alone..."
