Under You

Along the edges, colors blur and seem familiar
While you read your magazine
I was counting all the markers
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard, in a letter, or a frame of film melting
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me
A Hollywood flat where we’d laugh about our fortunes
Well we had jobs in this bar down at 3rd and San Vicente
And Ramen Noodles at 4:30 in the morning
When we barely could survive, I was never more alive
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
Under you, let go completely, feeling you take over me
Take over me
You moved in slow degrees
A sudden memory
You’re a Leonard Cohen song
But every now and then I’d swear I see you standing on a sidewalk
In a restaurant, from a taxi passing by
Under you I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Under you let go completely feeling you take over me
Take over me (x2)
