You said it never should've happened
All this dreaming up in Clapham
Like looking down, not the housing she imagined
Flat fashioned for that perfect picture caption
Like looking saddened, she'd been shackled to a Sims life
Finer things of life clinging to her insight
Oh, she was ringside with some kings like
Thinking 'bout the bragging with scaffold out on the hillside
I can see it, you want some sort of safety touch
A stable clutch, that you're framing out with your weight and trust
I work with children, though the future it don't pay me much
Just my dreaming perfect place for us
I'll take a stab at trust holding what I hope to rent
It's not your chosen trend, but I hope to end
Hope to bend that little feeling that you're happier the more you spend
You see a rose still grows from such a smaller stem
Spoke of Parker pens me, I'm spilling rotten ink
Nothing true of you, maybe just the way I think
Hold me close, on the brink you say I'm talking dumb
(Why?) 'Cause home is where the heart is from
Lay your head down
'Cause, darling, I've found heaven is right now
Keeping the lights down for today
Have I told you that I know you?
And when you're leaving, I want you to stay
Took a bedroom from a magazine, straight from the coast
Wrapped in plastic, catch the crumbs from your toast
A morning full of caffeine and eggs that are poached
These slow romantic naps that slap harder than most
Starting to show
Lips are parting, heart in your prose
And when you're arching it close, packing your clothes
Darling's a work of art, and I'm starting to know
That I could dive in your eyes
Oh, it's the beating of the heart, needing you in my life
Why? The prize lies when I guide myself to morning sleep
Hold you close, will a wink before I kiss your cheek
Try to say it keep it subtle from deep, needing the
Bloom, but the best of it is loving the seed
Seeing again, look again
Crayon on the walls
Children running, mucky feet, sweeping halls
I guess home is when your heart calls
Lay your head down
'Cause, darling, I've found heaven is right now
Keeping the lights down for today
Have I told you that I know you?
And when you're leaving, I want you to stay
His lips slipping to a picture of some bricks with their mortar
Like get your list in order, MTV Cribs supporter
You think I need you stacking cash, get your chips in order
Mr. Fix it for ya coming for housing their son or daughter
But all I want is lips that kiss leaving breathing shorter
For we daydream of the leaves not the size of autumn
Give a fuck about the size, it's all a lie they taught us
In the shine of August with the summer sun before us
I'll be squeezing you deep, believing that life is gorgeous
Still, what you scared of, love?
Think a man for providing is what I want my love?
That's a lining old as time, leaves you restless love
The best breath that you chesting comes from high up above
It's old talk, housewife, '50s in New York
Lane changed, now we women win with new thoughts
And these thoughts find the time to say
I could live with you anywhere long as heart can stay
'Cause I could live anywhere with you
Lay your head down
'Cause, darling, I've found heaven is right now
Keeping the lights down for today
Have I told you that I know you?
And when you're leaving, no, I can see you want to stay
Lay your head down
'Cause, darling, I've found heaven is right now
Keeping the lights down for today
