about

A song about how love is heavy but lightness is lonely

lyrics

Yesterday I wrote that our love is like stone
And you joked 'Hard and unforgiving and liable to weigh you down?'
You said I had to choose between the pebbles neath my shoes
So I left a few behind someplace I could always find them

Ooh look at me look at me
Ooh leave me be I should be happy
Ah ooh spend tomorrow wishing I was dying
But keep my clothes on
Ooh look at me look at me

Yesterday I dreamt someone else had cut your hair
So I ran fast as I could just to get back your attention
I left without my stone just a pocket full of woes
And a longing for the ocean that I’d turned and left behind me

Ooh look at me look at me
Ooh leave me be I should be happy
Ah ooh spend tomorrow wishing I was dying
But keep my clothes on
Ooh look at me look at me

Yesterday I wrote that our love would never slow
But today my heart was beating for the promise of some new blood
And everybody knows that a monkey wearing clothes isn’t
Half as entertaining if you stop and think about it

Ooh look at me look at me
Ooh leave me be I should be happy
Ooh spend tomorrow wishing I was dying
But keep my clothes on
Ooh look at me look at me

I put my feet straight in, I do not look within

I could be anybody that you want

Well our love is like a stone
It’s a solemn baritone
No matter how many seeds I sow
Well a pebble cannot grow
