Be The Lake
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.
There ain't nothing I would rather see
Than you drying off on this dock
I've been thinking, it's so good to be me
But girl, on second thought
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Well, I'm hiding behind these Ray-Ban shades
Staring at you like I do
I'm right here beside you and it's killing me
'Cause I can't get close enough to you
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Or maybe that book you laid on your chest
When you drift off like you do
Or maybe that 25 SPF
You keep rubbing all over you
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
