Cocoon Lyrics

I fell straight
Into your arms
Like a drunk
Who’s been on it
All morning
And the sun’s up
And my head’s fucked
And immediately I grab you
You go all red
Like the first time
I love it when you do that
God, I love it when you do that

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You’d stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends, all hated it

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

I cocoon 'round your shoulders
When you’re half cut
And you’re frozen
And you’ve got that visible breathing
You’re depending on me again

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You’d stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends, all hated it

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

Fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

And if you wanna shut down and pose as positive
And hide smoking from relatives and
Rest on me
Honey, that’s alright
And if you wanna act more drunk than usual
To help you get away with more then rest on me,
Honey, that’s alright
Honey, that’s alright

I cocoon 'round your shoulders
When you're half cut
And you're half cut

Fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You’d stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends, all hated it

I think this song is about a relationship that no one approves of. If you've ever date someone none of your friends approve of or like, kind of like that. The person in the song is basically saying, who cares what their friends think, he would "rather go blind then let you down".

Whenever the singer is with that person, they're in their own little world, their cocoon. And he likes her/loves her despite what anyone else thinks.

Love this band.

@kboyle this resonates on so many levels
