LYRICS
Nico come back home
Show me that you care
That love’s not just a flare on my sleeve

Sleep well

I pray that cardboard boxes
set the perfect stage
‘Cause wood grain makes

all man-made things

seem so out of date

life is not a play

It's what we make of the people we love
Snails see the benefits

The beauty in every inch

So why, why, why, why, why, why,
are you quick to kiss?
She bites at blades and leaves

Goddamn you shrubbery
I'm sick of vanity plates
Should we move to the UK?

‘Cause life here in the States has escaped

all the people above

Life’s what we make
of those people we love
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
So why, why, why, why, why, why,

are you quick to kiss
Baby

Maybe I spoke too soon

I’ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
I watch her as she runs

My mother jumps the gun
She puts her in her arms

That is just like my mom

Never lets go, never lets me grow old
I want to pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax

My family’s not rich by any means
but I feel we won the lottery that day

The rock swallowed the girl
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes

My tears turned into butterflies

that fly away as caskets close
A new day comes
You’ll wake unfold
and smile when you feel the sunlight

You feel the sunlight
