Lilmac, Aprilburn - Koi In The Sink

I found a koi in the sink
Red and white, blinking at me
Water gone, bowl tipped over
He looked mad, like “set me free”
I had bread, I had doubt
I had no clue what to do
You came in with a towel
Said, “Don’t panic, baby, move”
So we filled up the bucket
Slow, slow, slow
You held the rim steady
And I let go
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
We don’t sink, we swim
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
Tell me where you been
Back porch steps, morning rain
Tiny splashes on the floor
He turned once in the sunlight
Like he owned the whole front door
You laughed with your hair half-wet
Said the world’s a funny thing
How a little lost red fin
Can make a house start to sing
So we filled up the bucket
Slow, slow, slow
You held the rim steady
And I let go
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
We don’t sink, we swim
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
Tell me where you been
And I thought of all the messes
I tried to hide away
But you came in like water
And you stayed
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
We don’t sink, we swim
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
Tell me where you been
Koi in the sink
Koi in the sink
Now the whole room breathes again
