"Under You" lyrics

"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
Take over me
