New Recording 28 - Lions
Chelsea Cutler Song Lyrics

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.

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

And 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 ks 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

And 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.

I watch the sun go down at the beach

And think about kissing you back in your jeep

Watching the wind make home in you hair

And 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

So 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

And 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.
