Alexis Strum - Cocoon lyrics

Wrapped up in mosquito nets

Offer some protection

Curled up foetal in our beds

Naked we lay

Everybody says it but do they really mean it?

(You’ll be fine you’ll be fine)

Everybody waves it like a hand in my face

But what’s surviving anyway?

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe

I need to hear it

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe

I need to hear it - all of the time

I need to hear it

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again

Crawl into the overhead, ready for the thunder

Dreaming of the riverbed on some better day

Everybody’s saying that I’m doing really good now

(And how far I have come)

Everybody’s happy just to stay in one place

‘Cause what’s surviving anyway?

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe

I need to hear it

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me that I’m safe

I need to hear it - all of the time

I need to hear it

Tell me that I’m safe, tell me once again

Close my eyes I’m just like a newborn child

A newborn child I tell you

When I close my eyes

I’m just like a newborn child, a newborn child
