[Mood: Intimate acoustic Psychedelic Folk studio performance. Female lead vocalist with airy wavy vibrato, soft female choir joining gradually, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, wooden flute, light hand percussion, warm tape texture, and a gentle heartbeat sample used as a clear rhythmic pulse. Dreamy, whimsical, tender, quietly romantic, and catchy.] [Intro: Heartbeat sample begins alone for several beats, soft and clearly audible. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar enters around the pulse. Wooden flute drifts above. Soft female choir enters faintly with “ahh” and “ooh” phrases.] Ahh... ahh... Ooh... ooh... [Verse 1] Bubblewrap boots bouncing down the street, Tangerine clocks tap sticky feet. Lemon rain in a paper parade, Every little pulse feels handmade. A waffle wave curls by the lemonade stand, Nothing explains it, but everything can. I hear your heartbeat under mine, Keeping little secrets in perfect time. [Pre-Chorus] If you move it once, then move it twice, Logic rolls like sugar so nice. Feel your heartbeat next to mine, Soft as rain and right on time. [Chorus] Rocks in socks, Socks in a box, Box on a dock, Where the tide softly knocks. The dock hears clocks, And the clocks keep time, A little bit yours, A little bit mine. [Choir] Two little hearts, Keeping time. [Verse 2] Marshmallow trains glide over the lawn, Whistling through noon like it’s barely dawn. Crayon comets loop and climb, Following the beat we hide in rhyme. Licorice lanes bend left then right, Every direction lands just right. If I sing low and you sing high, We meet where the paper moons fly. [Bridge: Heartbeat sample returns slightly louder. Acoustic guitar softens. Wooden flute holds gentle notes. Female choir moves closer and joins the lead vocal in warm harmony.] Feel your heartbeat next to mine, Underneath the lemon rain. Two quiet hearts fall into time, And beat as one again. [Choir] Beat as one again, Beat as one again. [Lead] I never said it plain before, I left it folded by the door. In rocks and socks and clocks that chime, I was saying you are mine. [Final Chorus: Lead and choir fully joined, warmer and catchier.] Rocks in socks, Socks in a box, Box on a dock, Where the tide softly knocks. The dock hears clocks, And the clocks keep time, A little bit yours, A little bit mine. [Choir] Two little hearts, Keeping time. [Outro: Heartbeat sample remains soft and clear. Guitar and flute fade gently. Choir hum-free “ahh” and “ooh” harmonies drift out.] The stand packs up, But the night still knows, How marshmallow trains Come and go. I leave a cup Where the moon can shine, A little bit yours, A little bit mine. [Choir] Two little hearts, Keeping time. [End of Song]
