Story Behind The Song
We fall asleep on our past...our sentimental secrets stored in shoe boxes under the bed.
Song Description
Afraid to turn the light out
And race across the floor
For fear of what's been hiding
Hidden waiting, under the bed
It's here we place possessions
Shoeboxes filled with fear
Words from the past are waiting
To be thrown out,
under the bed,
under the bed
And then
we moved ourselves
Across the room
Exposing feelings long ignored
A world so new to me,
still unexplored
We fall asleep on our past
And dream of days to come
The weight of all these memories
Pressing down
and under the bed...

Lyrics
UNDER THE BED
Written by Reid Jamieson & Carolyn V. Mill
Afraid to turn the light out
And race across the floor
For fear of what's been hiding
Hidden waiting, under the bed
It's here we place possessions
Shoeboxes filled with fear
Words from the past are waiting
To be thrown out,
under the bed,
under the bed
And then
we moved ourselves
Across the room
Exposing feelings long ignored
A world so new to me,
still unexplored
We fall asleep on our past
And dream of days to come
The weight of all these memories
Pressing down
and under the bed...
