Retriever from MILK POOL by Merpire
This is about the feeling of needing to move. Getting cold feet or restlessness in your own life. It’s also about appreciating the simple yet powerful moments in my life - daydreaming around my neighbourhood, taking new routes, new streets as practise for leaning into the unknown in other aspects of my life. Golden retrievers make me so happy and bring me back into the present when I see them. They make me feel like I’m on the right path.

Lyrics
Sneaking out of the window in my room
A one-bedder I rent on my own
Just to feel a little sense of rebellion
While I’m boring myself half to -
Death could be upon me
And I wanna have the time of my -
Life doesn’t wait on tables
A golden retriever
And a freshly cut hedge
Somewhere to play
And someone in my bed
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
Getting lost in the neighbourhood
And now I’m nostalgic for a place I’ve never been
Walking around trying to find my favourite house
Where the garden swallows anything that -
Sits long enough to make a home
And I wanna have the time of my -
Life doesn’t wait on tables
A golden retriever
And a freshly cut hedge
Somewhere to play
And someone in my bed
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
Life doesn’t wait on tables
Life doesn’t wait on tables
Life doesn’t wait on tables
And I wanna have the time of my life
