Producer: Bram Inscore Emile Haynie
A real-life collect call from the bing features inmate and OutKast crony Nathaniel rapping a pungent, a cappella verse about the ills and ironies of doing time: "They treat you like a motherfuckin' slave/Dope fiends find Jesus, swear they saved." A perfect set-up for the next song, "Liberation." Andre 3000: Nathaniel had gotten locked up for a little trouble. It was Big Boi's idea to put him on the album, and half the time I had a cousin or somebody that was in jail [too] so we knew it would resonate with a lot of people. Read more on Last.fm.

I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
'Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3-AM shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
[Chorus]
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
[Verse 2]
I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
'Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw the line when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal
[Chorus]
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
(Talk me down)
[Bridge]
So if you don't mind, I'll walk that line
Stuck on the bridge between us
Grey areas and expectations
But I'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you
[Outro]
But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
(Talk me down)
