New Recording 28 - Lions

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
