Lockdown Lyrics

You cool your bed-warm hands down

On the broken radiator

When you lay them freezing on me

I mumble can you wake me later

But I don't really want you to stop

And you know it so it doesn't stop you

You run your hands from my neck

To my chest


Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays

Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you


Its been minutes, it's been days

It's been all I will remember

Happy lost in your hair

And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys

Are mapped by my intrepid fingers

And in a naked slumber

I dream all this again


Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays

Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit for hours

Finding new ways to be awed each minute

'Cause the daylight seems to want you

Just as much as I want you
