under you lyrics

Along the edges, colors blur it seems 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 held 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
Take over me
