Anna B Savage - Baby Grand Lyrics

We lie side by side under the Baby Grand

listen to Spice, then Funeral, then the sun rises.

You catch my eye, reach out a hand

and boop me on the forehead. ‘Nap time’ you said.

You rest your head on me under the Baby Grand

I am frozen, it’s so familiar.

You’ve fallen asleep: I hold my own hand

and stay as still as still could be

after the record’s ended…

You’ve created this moment just for me.

I think it’s just affection

but I didn’t drink much ‘cause I can’t be certain.

Could’ve slept, but I elbow you under the Baby Grand

and we went off to our separate bedrooms.

This morning I wrote that first verse down

and heard you in the kitchen,

probably talking to your girlfriend.

Well… I think it’s just honest affection

but I didn’t drink much ‘cause I can’t be certain.

On the sofa you noticed I’d written

A line about the Edwyn Collins owl mug.

Is this affection just created

for a better narrative?

When I dropped you off

I think I wanted to say I’d miss you,

or how I’ve missed you…

I think it’s just platonic affection,

but I didn’t drink much cause I can’t be certain

we haven’t spoken so I can’t be certain.
