Making The Bed is the sixth track from GUTS, Olivia Rodrigo’s second album, released September 8, 2023.
Make a bed
Want me to get it, identify it so it’s all ready
Another thing I messed up I did for fun
Another piece of plastic that I could just throw away.
Another conversation that doesn’t go well
I thought so, that’s why I said it, I took it because I can
Another day of pretending I’m older than I really am.
Another wonderful moment that is not like mine
One more thing I’ve forced to be familiar
Well, sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am.
Getting drunk at a club with friends in good weather
Push away all the people who know me best
But it’s me who makes the bed
I’m so tired of being the girl that I am
Every good thing has turned into something I’m afraid of
And I’m so good at playing the victim in my head
But it’s me who makes the bed
I who made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
Making the bed
And every night I wake up from this recurring dream.
Where I’m driving through the city and the brakes stop me.
And I can’t stop at a red light, I can’t get off the road.
I read somewhere that it was because my life was out of control.
And I tell someone I love them just to get my mind off it
They tell me they love me like I’m a tourist attraction.
They change my equipment and I just let it happen
I got what I wanted, it’s just not what I imagined
Well, sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am.
Getting drunk at a club with friends in good weather
Push away all the people who know me best
But it’s me who makes the bed
I’m so tired of being the girl that I am
Every good thing has turned into something I’m afraid of
And I’m so good at playing the victim in my head
But it’s me who makes the bed
I who made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
Making the bed
Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am
Counting all the wonderful things I regret.
But it’s me who makes the bed
I who made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
Making the bed
Oh oh
Transfer of bed linen
I want it so I got it, I say it and it’s done
Another thing I messed up, I did it for fun
Another piece of plastic that I could just throw away.
Another conversation that doesn’t go well
I thought so and said it, I took it because I can
Another day of pretending to be older than I am.
Another wonderful moment that is not like mine
One more thing I’ve forced to be familiar
Well, sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am.
I get drunk in a club with friends in good weather
It drives away all the people who know me best
But I’m the one who made the bed
I’m so tired of being the girl that I am
Everything good has turned into something I’m afraid of
And I’m so good at playing the victim in my head
But I’m the one who made the bed
I made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
I’m making the bed
And every night I wake up from this recurring dream
Where I’m driving around the city and miss the breaks
And I can’t stop at a red light, I can’t get off the road.
I read somewhere that it was because my life was out of control.
And I tell someone I love them just to get my mind off it
They tell me they love me like I’m a tourist attraction.
They change my technique and I let it happen
I got what I wanted, it’s just not what I imagined
Well, sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am.
I get drunk in a club with friends in good weather
It’s pushing away all the people who know me best
But I’m the one who made the bed
I’m so tired of being the girl that I am
Everything good has turned into something I’m afraid of
And I’m so good at playing the victim in my head
But I’m the one who made the bed
I made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
I’m making the bed
Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to be where I am
Counting all the good things I regret
But I’m the one who made the bed
I made the bed
Pull the sheets over my head
I’m making the bed
Oh oh
