From the recording Slide Under
This is a live track recorded at The Artichoke in Portland, Oregon. Jam Records London saw the video recording of the show and asked if they could release this new song. We asked our bassist and great friend Michael Henchman if he could pull the audio and do a little engineering and balancing on the track so that we were give the label the best possible live recording.
Lyrics
There’s a monster under my bed
I’ve got a closet full of demons
“Don’t be afraid”, my mother said
“Darkness comes and goes just like the seasons”
PRECHORUS
Sometimes it’s hard to feel alone
But you don’t have to face it on your own
CHORUS
Slide under the covers with me
I’m anchorless in a rising sea
Lift me up from this cold deep water
Slide under the covers with me
“I’m drowning” she said
“The weight of the world is always on my shoulders”
“Why don’t you put it down instead
And come to bed with me, my love”, he told her
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
We’ve come so far
To become who we are
And time keeps flowing on…
Cup of coffee and the morning news
Her eyes are bright but she can’t see much
These days the world leaves us confused
But there’s still comfort in a touch
PRECHORUS
CHORUS (repeat last line)
Slide under the covers with me
Slide under the covers with me
Slide a little closer
Slide a little closer, baby
Slide a little closer
Closer to me.
