Come Under The Covers
Walk the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tiptoe
Down the hall from where you live
These floors are talkative
But it's alright, it's alright

So quiet
A little house out in the woods
And it would feel so good
If you would stay, if you would stay

(Summer is over)
And I wanna leave you satisfied
(Summer is over)
And I can feel the cold changing us inside
(Come under the cover)
'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied tonight

In the low light
Two white shadows become one
Come on, put your moon in my sun
And set me on fire, set me on fire

(Summer is over)
And I wanna leave you satisfied
(Summer is over)
And I can feel the cold changing us inside
(Come under the cover)
'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied tonight

Sometime
It's like you grew up down the street
It's such a mystery
The way you know me, for where you know me

(Summer is over)
And I wanna leave you satisfied
(Summer is over)
And I can feel the cold changing us inside
(Come under the cover)
'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied
(Summer is over)
Summer is over




Summer is over
Summer is over

Line by Line Meaning

Tiptoe
Approach cautiously


Down the hall from where you live
Walking down the corridor of your residence


These floors are talkative
The floors are making noises


But it's alright, it's alright
But there's no need to worry


So quiet
Very peaceful here


A little house out in the woods
A small home located in the forest


And it would feel so good
It would be very satisfying


If you would stay, if you would stay
If you could spend more time with me


(Summer is over)
The season of summer has ended


And I wanna leave you satisfied
I want to make sure you're happy before I go


(Summer is over)
The summer is over


And I can feel the cold changing us inside
The changing temperature is affecting us emotionally


(Come under the cover)
Join me under the blanket


'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied tonight
Because I want to make sure you're happy before we go to sleep


In the low light
In the dim lighting


Two white shadows become one
Two people merge together


Come on, put your moon in my sun
Immersing oneself in the other's essence


And set me on fire, set me on fire
Ignite my passion


(Summer is over)
The summer season has ended


And I wanna leave you satisfied
I want to make sure you're happy before I leave


(Summer is over)
The summer has ended


And I can feel the cold changing us inside
The changing temperature is emotionally affecting us both


(Come under the cover)
Join me under the blanket


'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied tonight
Because I want to make sure you're happy before we sleep


Sometime
At times


It's like you grew up down the street
It feels like you've been my neighbour for so long


It's such a mystery
It's hard to explain


The way you know me, for where you know me
The way you understand me without much explanation


(Summer is over)
The summer season is over


And I wanna leave you satisfied
I want to make sure you're happy before I leave


(Summer is over)
The summer has ended


And I can feel the cold changing us inside
The changing temperature is affecting us emotionally


(Come under the cover)
Join me under the blanket


'Cause I wanna leave you satisfied
Because I want to make sure you're happy before I go


(Summer is over)
The summer season is over


Summer is over
The summer season has ended


Summer is over
The summer has ended


Summer is over
The summer has ended

idk why i'm sharing this gay shit but my heart is full and i love this track and this band so idc yall don't know me lol:

this song is my song with my best friend/former lover who i love so much. we have seen WTM three times together and i can't thank y'all enough for some amazing memories.

they made me a piece of art that sits on my nightstand that is based on/titled after this song. it is a screenprint of hands shaking out covers and the bottom part like the "under" part of the covers is a starry sky full of galaxies and our astrological constellations. we didn't end up together - kinda like in the song. but i remember when we both looked at each other and said we thought of each other when listening to the song especially at one particular line. we both said what line we were thinking of at the same time and i just remember how deeply in love i felt.
"sometimes, it's like you grew up down the street. it's such a mystery, the way you know me."

i don't think in this life my friend and i are going to be together. i don't really need that either from them i am happy being friends. i do hope in another life or somewhere out in the stars i meet them again one day and we do the whole damn thing. i really do feel we have a strong love that exists somewhere higher than we know. <+>
okay gay story time over i love this song and thanks for being the best band.

I seriously think the whole "Talking is Hard" album could be in Rock Band 4. I'd love to play these songs all day long!
