[Verse 1]
Lani by the waterline
Salt on your shoulders, I’m losing my mind
You fold the day like Lego bricks
Build me a home with your fingertips
Your laugh goes light through the open air
Soft little wings in the summer glare
I was a stone, then you turned me warm
Pulled me close through the breaking foam
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep circling back
To the shape of your name
My hands in the tide
My heart in the flame
You move like a prayer
Through the heat and the sand
I fall right in
Every time you take my hand
[Chorus]
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, take me high
Lani, my butterfly
You make the night feel alive
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, stay by my side
Lani, my butterfly
I’m yours when the wave rolls by
[Verse 2]
Hot yoga glow on your skin
You bend like truth I can live in
Bare feet, slow breath, steel and silk
You hold the room with a single tilt
Then back to the beach and the blue
Lego castles in the afternoon
We laugh as the tide starts to climb
You turn my noise into one straight line
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep circling back
To the shape of your name
My hands in the tide
My heart in the flame
You move like a prayer
Through the heat and the sand
I fall right in
Every time you take my hand
[Chorus]
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, take me high
Lani, my butterfly
You make the night feel alive
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, stay by my side
Lani, my butterfly
I’m yours when the wave rolls by
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Hold me in the hush
Let the shoreline fade
If I lose my way
You’re the thread I made
One more breath
One more pull
You turn my whole dark
Into something full
[Chorus]
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, take me high
Lani, my butterfly
You make the night feel alive
Lani, my butterfly
Lani, stay by my side
Lani, my butterfly
I’m yours when the wave rolls by
