The tub is warm the bubbles rise

A paperback beneath my eyes

Balancing pages like a tightrope act

One wrong move and there’s no turning back

Oh I’m reading in the tub tonight

Holding on to that book so tight

It’s a dance it’s a game it’s a risky delight

Trying not to drown my plotline tonight

The steam curls up the pages sway

The story pulls me far away

But my elbow slips my heart just stops

Saved the book but spilled the props

Oh I’m reading in the tub tonight

Holding on to that book so tight

It’s a dance it’s a game it’s a risky delight

Trying not to drown my plotline tonight

Sudsy foam and thrilling prose

Keeping balance who really knows

A single splash could end it all

But I’ll risk it for the hero’s call

The water cools the candles fade

Still I turn each page unafraid

The final chapter the story's done

And not a single drop has won
