Lake Day With My Little Lion

Lyrics

Verse 1
Kicked my shoes off in the grass
Sun’s painting freckles on my knees
You curl up right beside my hand
Tiny tiger in the reeds
You chase the ripples with your eyes
Tail twitching like you’re gonna leap
But you just yawn and stretch and sigh
Guarding secrets while I sleep

Chorus
It’s just us by the water, breathing slow
Little heart on my sweater, you don’t know
How you turn a quiet afternoon
To a whole soft universe in bloom
It’s just us by the water, golden-blue
And I think my favorite view
Is every little lake day
Spent right here with you (mm, with you)

Verse 2
Dragonflies buzzing overhead
You bat at shadows on the shore
I talk to you about my fears
You blink like you have heard them all before
You steal my hair tie, strike a pose
Queen of clover, whiskers bright
I snap a picture, you just blink
Like, “Put that thing away, enjoy the light” (hey)

Chorus
It’s just us by the water, breathing slow
Little heart on my sweater, you don’t know
How you turn a quiet afternoon
To a whole soft universe in bloom
It’s just us by the water, golden-blue
And I think my favorite view
Is every little lake day
Spent right here with you (oh, with you)

Bridge
Some days roar and crash like storms
Today just hums and holds me warm
If the world asks who saved my heart
I’ll say, “She purrs and falls apart
At the sound of my name” (my name)
And curls closer all the same

Chorus
It’s just us by the water, breathing slow
Little heart on my sweater, you don’t know
How you turn a quiet afternoon
To a whole soft universe in bloom
It’s just us by the water, me and you
And I think my favorite truth
Is every little lake day
Every little lake day
Is home when I’m with you (yeah, with you)
