Lyrics

The shape you take when you lay like that
Reminds me of a love I've never had
If loving's wrong, then what's a boy to do?
I ain't scared of death, but I'm scared of losing you
You ain't out of my league, you're out of this planet
But dammit if you ain't drilled into my skull

Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag and spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the sun comes back again
'Cause they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
Twenty-seven seasons

When I close my eyes, I think of pines
I could smell it here, that southern farm
But every pine has its time
You'll outgrow the rains of [lazy ?]
And I'll be still at the [?]
To make you a roof that you can pine under
