Mark: Anyone want to bring these lyrics to life for me before Valrntine's Day? I have a new gf to impress :)
Max: Here you go.
(Verse 1)
For many years I've slept alone
Arms outstretched, still as a stone
Pillows propped under my knees
Head and feet diag'nally
But the girl I met so recently
Has changed my sleeping habitry
She's more than just a little clingy
As she wraps up every part of me
(Chorus)
She's an octopus every night
Arms and legs all wrapping tight
Attached like super glue
There's nothing I can do
There's no use in even putting up a fight
(Bridge/Outro)
Swaddled in her cuddle
She has me throttled
It's not subtle
I'm just the monkey in the middle
of her arms and legs entangled
(Chorus)
She's an octopus every night
Arms and legs all wrapping tight
Wiggle room long gone
She's the queen of holding on
There's no use in even putting up a fight
(Verse 2)
The recent nights I've slept with her
I've been a captive, that's for sure
Her hair a mask across my face
She's taken over my sacred space
But the girl I met so recently
That changed my sleeping habitry
I no longer struggle to be free
'Cause I love the way she holds on to me
(Bridge/Outro)
Swaddled in her cuddle
She has me throttled
It's not subtle
I'm just the monkey in the middle
of her arms and legs entangled

Playful, sweet lyrics, and awesome melody (and accompanying video!). Recently/habitry, haha too cute. Quite a picture you've painted for me, I'll be smiling for a while.

That's a gem. The live vibe makes this song.

Nice for you. Great tune there, I like the feel of young love, and the light joyful voice on the demo. Great collab.

Here you go :-)

Great song/yrics. I can relate with my wife. Love it...
Once I get my computer sorted out (currently restoring a backup of data from December), if nobody takes this, I may give it a go. The backup is taking soooo long to restore...

Ahaha this is so cute!

What clever lyrics! I'm laughing at the images. "She's the Queen of holding on" great line.
