Marinade

(album: Honey Bones - 2016)

She got attacked by a pack of dogs
But she said, "It's okay
I got some wilderness skills beneath my belt"
She said she used to be a part of a Scout team
They nearly made her leader one time
But they didn't have enough thread to sew the patches on
And she said, "Do you know how you heard about that family that burnt down in that house?"
Well, that was hers
She said it was just some hoax that she made up
To watch people cry
Yeah, she whispered to me softly

Well, do you want me
Just how I am?
Do you need me
Where I stand?
Let's go steady
Let's make a plan
Marinade on that for a while
Yeah

She wanted to die by a river
She wanted the tide to come up and drag her away
So that when she's dreaming
She can watch the tree line fall away
She used to draw rainbow faces in the sand
But the rainbow made the face sad
Had bits of foam coming out the bottom of its mouth
It's kinda funny that way

Oh, do you want me
How I am?
Do you need me
Oh, where I stand?
Let's go steady
Let's make a plan
Marinade on that for a little while
Yeah
