Simple Tree (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Furr - 2008)

You were cool, slipping out of your skin after school
Drifting warm through the trees to the pool
And all the kids coming out never knew just exactly the score
Baby where is the girl that I knew

Just before, fast asleep in her clothes on the floor
Back two birds with one stone in a storm
With your sweater on backwards and torn
There was nothing to warn me, I slept like a lamb in the corn

'Cause I'm going like I'd break the speed of sound
Kicking up the dust so all around
Coming like a cougar after me
Until you break down around these simple trees, tree

This is now, watching you and some curtains and clouds
If you could get up the nerve to relate
To the people with faces you hate
I'm gonna write you a song and explain everything that went wrong

'Cause I'm going like I'd break the speed of sound
Kicking up the dust so all around
Coming like a cougar after me
Until you break down around these simple trees, tree
