On Your Shoulder

You say the words and I start humming

Fetching songs from your head

I like how you need two cups of water

On the nightstand by the bed

One’s not enough, you’ve said

I like to watch you

To see the dreams play out like fads

Unfurrow your brow for you

Don’t like to see you look so stressed

When you wake up

Come out slowly

I’ll be all you need

I am always on your shoulder

Whatever it takes to be your baby

Oh, you take the breath right out of my mouth

If you lead the way, I’ll never doubt you

I like to watch you

To see the dreams...

Wake up

Come out slowly

I’ll be all you need

I am always on your shoulder

Whatever it takes to be your baby

Whatever it takes
