Comfortable
The Knocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro:]
All I see is you and me, dancing in each other's company
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other's, dancing in each other's company

Triple hit it right, baby get back to the city
You shoot your lover, you belong in their world
Is only temporary but it feels like forever
Let your hair swing down to the back of your knees
You're in a heart shape, rotate, grip like a tropical torn
Still texting your answers, making perfectly sure we're alone
And now the car's parked, backseats, he may know how to make the rhythms
You're so self-assured when you're working the loop

Chorus:
All I see is you and me, dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other's, dancing in each other's company
All I see is you and me, dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other's, dancing in each other's
Dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me

Now shift your head, break your back, take up all the attention
I've got my hair cut short, cut straight to the issue
It's comin up, it's comin up, all my shameful intentions on a row
Taking hold of me
Give me, give me, give me strength to continue
Can I get a little space, space?
If I only knew all I know, all I know
Will I know you?

Chorus:
All I see is you and me, dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other's, dancing in each other's company
All I see is you and me, dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me
Honestly I won't believe
Dancing in each other's, dancing in each other's
Dancing in each other's company
You're so comfortable with me




You're so comfortable with me
You're so comfortable with me

I don't know songs exactly like this one, the style is quite unique, but you can give a try to The Knocks _ Modern Hearts if you don't know it yet, and then :
justice _ new lands (blisters boyz remix) / helix / stop / fire / randy
gesaffelstein - viol
st lucia _ a brighter love / september
miami horror _ cellophane / real slow
lemaitre _ rocket girl
cassius _ see me now / brotherhood
daft punk _ face to face

And I'm also interested if someone has a better answer =)

How are The Knocks not super famous yet???

@SpindicateAudio

was at their gig last night. that's all i could think the whole time!!!!!

@deezcan

i'd be happy for them if they become famous (mainstream), but i find them more appealing being underground

@cuteashish16

^^Exactly! I hope they don't turn to the mainstream in the future.
