"Bed Rest" is a previously unreleased song by American singer-songwriter Conan Gray. It was released on March 20, 2025, serving as the first track on the 5th anniversary reissue of Gray’s debut album, Kid Krow.
Background
"Bed Rest" was initially written and recorded in 2019 for Gray's debut album, Kid Krow. The song ultimately didn't make the final tracklist, but was repurposed 5 years later for the Kid Krow, Decomposed reissue.
| “ | [...] Bed Rest felt like the perfect way to celebrate the 5 year anniversary; because not only does it perfectly encapsulate how I felt about life then, it somehow also speaks so perfectly to how I feel about life now, five years later (sometimes you have to go a little crazy before you can come back to your senses). | ” |

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know there's a lot of things
That I wish that I didn't do
You know there's a side of me
That I wish that you never knew
[Chorus]
And although I'm crazy, maybe just this time
You could try to see my sweeter side
I promise after a little while longer
I'll come back to my senses
But now I need some bed rest
(Ooh-Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Lies filling up the room
I honestly can't tell what's fake or true
I run miles and miles from you
I’m too afraid of what we're gonna do
[Chorus]
And although I'm crazy, maybe just this time
Oh, you could try to see our sweeter side
I promise after a little while longer
I'll come back to my senses
But now I need some bed rest
[Bridge]
But now I need some bed rest
To mend from all our trainwrecks
Our love was all too reckless
But now I need some bed rest
Forget your name and address
We almost ended up dead
[Outro]
Don't look at me that way
You know we both did things to be ashamed
I hope once our bruises fade
We'll forget the things we did to us those days
But honestly, I'll never be the same
