“Leap Year” is the third single off of Billie Marten’s fifth studio record Dog Eared. The song was written on Leap Day in 2024 while Billie Marten wrestled with winter malaise in bed.

Leap Year Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's nothing below us anymore
A carpet of clouds, and the sky's the floor
I've seen faces love and lose it all
A gambling train, it's criminal
[Verse 2]
Our love is like a rose
It blooms and then it goes
A pocketful of gold
An eyelash on the nose
[Chorus]
I could've loved you
But the day's already gone
I could've held you
But the sun's already shone
I could've kept you
Would you stay longer than a leap year
If I fall asleep here?
[Verse 3]
I carve the time away in my ivory hall
I sing my songs, and I climb the walls
The clock is ticking murder at me now
A solitude, insufferable
[Verse 4]
Our love is like an ache
It keeps you lain awake
Four turns around the sun
I'd walk a mile to run
[Chorus]
I could've loved you
But the day's already past
I could've seen you shine
But the moon just didn't last
I could've held you
Would you stay longer than a leap year
If I fall asleep here?
[Instrumental]

I stitched some buttons together and it became this song. It was written in a Leap Year, 29th February 2024, which is where I got the title...
