This song is about a guy who met his girlfriend one night and the next morning he was still in bed with her. But for me, the song is totally different, it represents a different story in my life. I was sexually assaulted by my cousin Katie when I was 5 years old. But I was always silent about it with people who weren’t sexually assaulted, because knowing they didn’t go through what I did, made me feel really sad about it. But in my second year of college, I finally opened up to my teachers and class peers, where I can see it was success. A year later, my tutor left college and I was really sad, but I knew there was something positive. I was able to own up about my truth to people and my teachers and class peers helped me with it. It was something I was never able to do before in my life.
