New Recording 28 - Lions

[00:00.32] I haven't heard you say goodnight
[00:05.37] Slip both your hands between my thighs
[00:11.21] Turn out the light, pulling me in
[00:16.55] Counting the freckles that ... my skin*
[00:21.88] I haven't felt you scratch my back
[00:27.63] I make a joke 'cause I know you will laugh
[00:32.79] My favorite sound, hope that you still
[00:38.15] Laugh just as much now I'm not there to hear
[00:43.96] I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep
[00:48.31] In your building that's only 16 blocks from mine
[00:54.68] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake
[00:59.27] Loving every moment, doing alright
[01:05.39] You said if I really love you, then I'd understand
[01:11.52] Why a person like you needs some time
[01:16.10] So I'll let you go, hope you come home
[01:21.82] If you're really mine
[01:27.49] You were my sun, I saw a light
[01:32.56] I've always been happy, but sad in this life
[01:38.12] But you gave me more than something to keep
[01:43.13] Now I'm counting how many k's put me to sleep
[01:49.05] I want you to smile, to feel like enough
[01:54.20] 'Cause you deserve yellow and lions and love
[01:59.81] I hope you come back when you're doing well
[02:05.34] Forgive me for being the worst of myself
[02:10.90] And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep
[02:15.74] In your building that's only 16 blocks from mine
[02:21.92] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake
[02:26.57] Loving every moment, doing alright
[02:32.92] You said if I really love you, I'd understand
[02:38.73] Why a person like you needs some time
[02:43.32] So I let you go and hope you come home
[02:48.93] If you're really mine, mmm
[02:54.81] I watch the sun go down at the beach
[03:00.24] Think about kissing your back and your cheek
[03:05.78] Watching the wind make home in your hair
[03:11.20] Thinking that I could die happy right there
[03:16.78] I took my phone to tape as you walked
[03:22.08] Down the white coast with your hand in my palm
[03:27.25] So I never forget how it feels to be home
[03:32.64] When I close my eyes, that's where I go
[03:38.29] And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep
[03:43.04] In your building that's only 16 blocks from mine
[03:49.31] I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake
[03:53.79] Loving every moment, doing alright
[04:00.05] You said if I really love you, then I'd understand
[04:06.12] Why a person like you needs some time
[04:10.82] So I'll let you go and hope you come home
[04:16.05] If you're really mine
[04:19.28]
