So I Can Sleep is one of those brilliantly written songs that really leaves the meaning up to interpretation. It could be real, it could be memories, it could be a mixture, it could be about a breakup - but it definitely mentions LA culture and TikTok.

Lyrics
In reality
She wants a man 6'3
So I go to sleep
There she visits me
Entirely fantasy
So I feel guilty
But in my dreams
She's leaning into me
And my depression loves you
Your hot hands are my noose
We did meet once and I
Didn't think much
Charmed by fake love
Now I feel your ghost touch
So I can sleep
Send your love for the last time to me
So I can sleep
Send your love once more in a dream
So I can sleep
Go on and fuck me up and leave me be
So I can sleep
Send your love for the last time to me
It's a family reunion
But the people all feel new
We're in my grandma's house
And I'd love to be close to you
I've got these emotions I forgot I could feel
And it's only in my dreams they even feel real
After eyes and a hand hold, you open wide
Wrap around me and coo from deep inside
Your voice tremolos without any shame
And your eyes pierce my soul to say you see me the same
(Chorus)
LA girl you think you're so much better than me
LA girl I can't tell you, you're not
LA girl the only thing that you've got on me
Is when you arrived to TikTok
