I'd Like To
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lying with you reminds me of those days
Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave
Mother's in the garden inviting everyone
Ooh, we'd cut up our old jeans and go outside
Neighbour's aways smiling with a baby on her knee
Rhea sat on the front step getting her hair combed out and greased
And music, the bass booming, pours from a car parked in the street
Got that new song on repeat
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint a picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'd just like to make you see that I desire the simple things
Growing up we didn't have a lot of money
Used to spend our summers having parties on the drive
Plastic cups for rum and punch
Eating chicken that's hot and sweet
All the women discussing what love is like
Ooh, you know the way I mean
And I'm just sitting, watching, hoping the boys will call for me
Got that new song on repeat
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint a picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'd just like to make you see that I desire the simple things
Maybe then, now and then I would want somebody
Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love
Now you come and you go right by me
I know I'm in love
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint this picture for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'd just like to make you see that I desire the simple things
Oh, I'd like to put my fingers on you
And paint a picture for you
You don't understand where I'm coming from
I desire the simple things
