New Recording 28 - Lions

I haven't heard you say goodnight Slip both your hands between my thighs Turn out the light, pulling me in Counting the freckles that dapple my skin I haven't felt you scratch my back I make a joke 'cause I know you will laugh My favorite sound, I hope that you still Laugh just as much now I'm not there to hear I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine You were my sun, I saw a light I've always been happy but sad in this life But you gave me more, something to keep Now I'm counting how many K's put me to sleep I want you to smile, to feel like enough 'Cause you deserve yellow and lions and love I hope you come back when you're doing well Forgive me for being the worst of myself And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright You said if I really love you, I'd understand why a person like you needs some time So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine I watch the sun go down at the beach Think about kissing you back in your Jeep Watching the wind make home in your hair Thinking that I could die happy right there I took my phone to tape as you walked Down the rye coast with your hand in my palm So I never forget how it feels to be home When I close my eyes, that's where I go And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine
