Cocoon
Japanese Wallpaper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why
I'm on your side
On your side
Tell me how I

Can get to you
I don't know why
My tongue gets tied
Too tied
If you can read my mind
Then would you?

Just stay with me
No, you don't have to leave
I don't wanna go now
Safe in your dreams
This something comes to you
Stuck in our own cocoon
Stuck in our own cocoon

You are the one in the skies
In the skies
Taking me back to someone new
You don't know how, but you got a way
Way with words
If you can read my mind then would you?

Just stay with me
No, you don't have to leave
I don't wanna go now
Safe in your dreams
This something comes to you




Stuck in our own cocoon
Stuck in our own cocoon
