Sleeping With a Friend Lyrics

All my friends
They're different people
Anxious like the Ocean in the storm
When we go out
Yeah, we're electric
Coursing' through our bodies til we're warm

And why mess up a good thing baby?
It's a risk to even fall in love
So when you give that look to me
I better look back carefully
'Cause this is trouble
Yeah, this is trouble

I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping With a Friend

All my friends
Stay up past midnight
Looking for the thing to fill the void
I don't go out
Much like I used to
Something about the strangers and the noise

And why leave when I got you baby
It's a risk but babe, I need the thrill
I never said you'd be easy
But if it was all up to me
I'd be no trouble
Yeah, we're in trouble

I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend
Sleeping with a friend

We are both young
Hot blooded people
We don't wanna die alone
To become one
It could be lethal
Sleeping with a friend

All my friends
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends

Oh I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend

(All my friends)
Sleeping with a friend
(All my friends)

If my heart's gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend

Sleeping With a Friend

The first single to be released from Pop Psychology is an ode to friends with benefits. "It's the sex song that I kinda know how to write," Neon Trees singer Tyler Glenn said in an interview with KROQ's Kevin & Bean. "I don't know how to write an S&M-fueled Rihanna banger because I don't think our sex lives are… I don't think most people's sex lives are 'Blurred Lines,' or that kind of swingers party."

This cautionary tale of hooking up with someone you're close with is something Glenn experienced, but wouldn't necessarily recommend. "I'm an awkward guy and so it's not about me trying to desperately hook up," he explained to Radio.com . "It's more about…the danger involved and the risk. So it's very dorky. It's a dorky song."

Tyler Glenn came out as gay shortly before the Pop Psychology album was released. He admitted that this song is about an old friend - who is straight - that he had a crush on for years. Glenn said that he had lost touch with this person and wasn't sure what kind of reaction he would get.

Despite Tyler Glenn coming out as gay, most of the pronouns on the Pop Psychology songs and the love interests in their videos remain female. "I don't think pronouns matter really with music because music is so universal," Glenn told MTV News.

Glenn added that women are not always the love interests they seem in the band's work. For instance, regarding this song's music clip, he said. "Technically I'm sort of running from this girl in the video. Not to make women out to be bad, but… I kind of spent my life trying to date girls when in reality it just wasn't my nature."
