lyrics

DEAR DOVE
by Derek James

We love like monkeys
Hands through hair, fingers pinching skin
Morning kisses are sweeter with the breath I’m breathing in

I’m just singing this song
Because I can’t fall asleep
Nobody keeps me warm
And I’m through counting sheep

CHORUS
Cause you know this is exactly where you’re supposed to be
And I know this is exactly where I’m supposed to be

You’ll move to London in March
Your blossoming career
No direction home, I like the way you steer

You’re my frog princess, I’m your dove
We never wished to share this abandoned love
But that’s just, just what we got

Cause you know this is exactly where you’re supposed to be
And I know this is exactly where I’m supposed to be

But you know this is exactly where you’re supposed to be
And I know this is exactly where I’m supposed to be
