i always interpreted this as a codependent relationship- the speaker is trying desperately to make the subject feel okay, especially in the lines “while you sleep i’ll be scared so by the time you wake i’ll be brave”. vvv good

Honestly, I always interpreted this as a self-love anthem. I know that Mitski herself said that it's about what the narrator wishes a lover would tell them to comfort them but I always interpreted it as the narrator lifting themselves up when no one is there, dancing alone in the dark cradling themselves to sleep, taking comfort in small things such as washing their hair and taking their time drying it after a long depressive episode.
