I am disappointed
Every morning that I wake up
I am disappointed by the feeling
Of waking up next to you

You call me up, let me know that
That my sick guilt is so unwelcome
It's so unwelcome yeah
I hear noises in the darkness

I hear sadness in your voice
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
My health is failing me

So I flip on the television
And watch sad movies
And look for sad sick people like me
Call me up, and let me know that

That my sick guilt is so unwelcome
I'm so unwelcome
I'm so unwelcome
I hear noises in the darkness

I hear sadness in your voice
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
We could go

(We could go)
We could go through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
We go in through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
We go in through the front door
(Through the front door)
We could go

(We could go)
I come in through the front door
Through the front door
And the pills they will not

Will not
Will not
Will not let me go
And I will not

Will not
Will not let you drink yourself alone
Call me up and let me know that
That my sick guilt is so unwelcome

You're so unwelcome
You're so unwelcome
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness in your voice

I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you
I hear noises in the darkness
I hear sadness inside you

I hear sadness inside you

    General Comment:I think this song could be about that stuff, however, I find that it may just be about her and a close friend. But, they are kind of stuck in that stage of wanting to be more than that. When she just spends the night as "friends" it can be disappointing and the whole "I hear noises in the darkness" and "I hear sadness in your voice" is symbolic of that frustration and obviously refers to hearing someone crying during the night/in their sleep. I think it is possible it could be about that. And the whole pull in, push away, i.e. confusion of where you want a relationship to be or just plain fear. This is seen with the whole "my sick guilt is so unwelcome, you're so unwelcome". Someone is caring too much, then the other person has to feel "bad" about it cause they don't want to care as much." But, then that person "drinks themselves alone". Yet, the other person, is still going to come over. Because they love them..

    I don't know, maybe I'm just applying it to me. But. It could be something along those lines. That's at least what I take from it.

    General Comment:hmm i dunno i was listening to this song before- 'i am disappointed at the feeling of waking up next to you' - so obviously realizing that you're just not in love with someone + wanting to be with someone else.
    but she also talks about her 'sick guilt' and searching through channels to find 'sad sick people like me'
    -so I'm thinking that maybe its about the moment when you realize that you don't want to be in a heterosexual relationship.
    -realizing that you're gay - and coming to terms with it?

    General Comment:I'm with technophobia - it's an old one but always a goody.

    also, i think this song is about being someone, and like werechick said, not wanting to be. except, i think it has to do a little more with sadness. like, being with someone and not really being happy and just sort of being stuck.

    General Comment:As for the meaning, I think it's pretty straight forward about being with someone and not wanting to be.
