Allie X - Milk

[Verse 1]
Yellow light bulb, incandescent
Cotton nightgown, soft and fragrant
Don't put me down
In the bathtub after dinner
Swaddle me for twenty minutes
Don't put me down

[Pre-Chorus]
You turn the lights out
I'm all alone now
My thumb in my mouth

[Chorus]
Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace
I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk

[Verse 2]
Underneath the kitchen table
Pick me up and make a cradle
Don't put me down
You don't like the way I'm growing
Lock the doors that used to open
Don't put me down

[Pre-Chorus]
I threw my key out
I'm all alone now
Can I sleep at your house?

[Chorus]
Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace
I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk
Oh, I need your love
Take me in your arms, an ​eternal embrace
I won't be unkind, oh, I swear this time
I won't push you away
Is it all dried up? Unconditional love?
Can I taste it again? I need milk

[Verse 3]
I don't know if I've been missing
Something that never existed
Don't put me down
Let me back in from the wild
I can be your golden child
Don't put me down

[Instrumental Outro]
