Pillow Talk
The Analog Affair Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cut my hair got lost and wild
Closed my eyes and jumped into the ocean with you
You were in slow motion
And I knew that I'd never felt more alive
But baby don't come up to on the surface who
Use you thinking they see right through your eyes
Let's take a ride
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
Holding close against that line
We watched the waves crash then die
Is it the weather
Will the next one be better
But on your face your nature hides
Because in the dark the sea looks fine
Baby is this forever
Will we still be together
Cause if we keep crawling
Maybe we can sail through
Believing baby we can make it through tonight
Let's take a ride
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
So put the pedal down
Get a little high
The clouds explode as we watch em roll by
The things we grow in the middle of the night
Our bodies sewn by the pale moonlight
