New Recording 28 - Lions

[00:05.00] Slip both your hands between my thighs

[00:10.56] Turn out the light, pulling me in

[00:16.11] Counting the freckles that dapple my skin

[00:21.66] I haven't felt you scratch my back

[00:26.93] I make a joke 'cause I know you will laugh

[00:32.48] My favorite sound, I hope that you still

[00:37.75] Laugh just as much now I'm not there to hear

[00:43.28] I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine

[00:54.32] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright

[01:05.12] You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time

[01:15.93] So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine

[01:27.23] You were my sun, I saw a light

[01:32.25] I've always been happy but sad in this life

[01:38.05] But you gave me more, something to keep

[01:42.56] Now I'm counting how many k's put me to sleep

[01:48.85] I want you to smile, to feel like enough

[01:53.88] 'Cause you deserve yellow and lions and love

[01:59.65] I hope you come back when you're doing well

[02:05.17] Forgive me for being the worst of myself

[02:10.47] And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine

[02:21.77] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright

[02:32.32] You said if I really love you, I'd understand why a person like you needs some time

[02:43.39] So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine

[02:54.44] I watch the sun go down at the beach

[02:59.74] Think about kissing you back in your Jeep

[03:05.26] Watching the wind make home in your hair

[03:10.53] Thinking that I could die happy right there

[03:16.31] I took my phone to tape as you walked

[03:21.57] Down the rye coast with your hand in my palm

[03:26.83] So I never forget how it feels to be home

[03:32.12] When I close my eyes, that's where I go

[03:37.90] And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine

[03:48.98] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright

[03:59.77] You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time

[04:10.59] So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine
