Personal Addition; If These Sheets Were The States

I'm lost in empty pillow talk again

This bed's an island made of feather down, and I'm stuck here alone
With little else but memories of you, on memory foam

Visions of a brighter love, I'd kill for one more day
To pool my thoughts, and find the words to say

If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away,
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me.
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me.
I settle for long distance calls, I'm lost in empty pillow talk again.

I'm lost in empty pillow talk again

This room's become a mausoleum, filled with relics of regret
Paying dues to every moment wasted, on words left unsaid
Collisions of a finer love, I'd kill for one more way
To tell you how you make me better every day

If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away,
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me.
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me.
I settle for long distance calls, I'm lost in empty pillow talk again.

(Lost in empty pillow talk again)
(Lost in empty pillow talk again)

If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away,
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me.
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me.
I settle for long distance calls, I'm lost in empty pillow talk

I settle for long distance calls, I'm lost in empty pillow talk again.
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again.


This is a song written and performed by Alex Gaskarth, Leader of All Time Low. 

I really like the way this song was written. I mean, Wow! Who knew you could compare bedsheets to a long distance relationship? That's what really got me. I don't think I know anyone who could do that. My favourite line in this song is ; "If these sheets were the states and you were miles away, I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me". It shows that although your significant other is far, they're never too far in your heart. 
Random thought; Why can't this be a thing? Like, bed sheets that actually have the lyrics printed out on them? I'd be first in line to buy them.
