Schuyler Fisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The minute you walk out of my door
Never know when it's gonna hit you
Just when you think you're heart's still on the floor
And I'm almost scared to ask so
I'll just pretend like you feel like this
At least for now
I think it's what we need
Don't think about it baby
Just come with Me
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Just come with me
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Come with me
Cause it feels so good
I wake up see you're smiling face
You're happy this morning cause it's raining
Not ashamed stay in bed all day
And I feel good cause you make me come, come baby
Let's complicate some things and come, come baby
Oh come with me
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Just come with me
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Come with Me
You keep me wanting more I like it
One foot in one out of the door
I want it
Could you keep me a little longer
Show me what you know
Fall asleep arms around me in the afterglow
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Just come with me
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Come with Me
Could you keep me a little longer
Little Longer
(Come with me)
One foot in one out of the door
(Come with me)
I want it
Yeah eh eh aye
eh eh aye
eh eh aye
Just come with me
Cause it feels so good
The song "Afterglow" by Schuyler Fisk tells a story of a relationship that is somewhat unstable. The lyrics describe the rollercoaster ride of emotions between two people who are struggling to keep their relationship intact. The song begins with the singer missing her significant other as soon as they leave, but not wanting to confront the possibility of their feelings not being mutual. The chorus repeats the line "just come with me" as a plea to the significant other to stay a little longer, despite the complications in their relationship.
The second verse takes on a romantic tone, as the singer describes waking up with a smile because of her significant other's presence. The idea of staying in bed together all day is presented as something that is not shameful but rather joyful. However, the feeling of instability returns in the bridge when the lyrics declare "you keep me wanting more I like it/one foot in, one out of the door." The song ends with the singer once again requesting for her significant other to stay a little longer, and the repetition of "just come with me" adds to the desperation of her plea.

You get up and go and I miss you
I feel your absence when you leave my side
The minute you walk out of my door
I start missing you as soon as you leave my house
Never know when it's gonna hit you
You never know when you will start missing someone
Just when you think you're heart's still on the floor
When you feel like you're barely recovering from heartbreak
And I'm almost scared to ask so
I'm hesitant to ask because I'm afraid of the answer
I'll just pretend like you feel like this
I'll act like you're as invested in this relationship as I am
At least for now
For the moment, things seem to be going well
I think it's what we need
I believe that this is what we require for our relationship to thrive
Don't think about it baby
Don't overthink this, just go with the flow
Just come with me
Let's move forward together without hesitation
Cause it feels so good
Because it brings us joy and happiness
I wake up see you're smiling face
Waking up to your happy face is a wonderful feeling
You're happy this morning cause it's raining
You're joyful because of the cozy, rainy weather
Not ashamed stay in bed all day
We're not embarrassed to take a break and stay in bed all day
And I feel good cause you make me come, come baby
You make me feel good and fulfilled in this relationship
Let's complicate some things and come, come baby
Let's take some risks in this relationship
Oh come with me
Let's move forward together
You keep me wanting more I like it
Your presence always leaves me wanting to spend more time with you
One foot in one out of the door
You're not fully committed to this relationship
Could you keep me a little longer
Can we stay together for a bit more time?
Show me what you know
Share your thoughts with me, let's be open with each other
Fall asleep arms around me in the afterglow
Let's sleep together in each other's arms after a romantic moment
Little Longer
Can we have a little more time together?
(Come with me)
Let's move forward together

I loved this song as soon as I first heard it. And then I realized that the whole thing is about a casual sex relationship. And then I loved it more. :-)
