Peeling Off The Bark

Pinegrove

Compositor: Evan Stephens Hall

Leaning in a dark room
A look alike James Wright
(When all my life I've been rejecting
What will I say yes to?)
What did I say yes to?
I'd been cutting glass carefully
And all my time was spent alone
I didn't expect you

What did I say yes to?
What did I say?
Been talking 'bout you so much
I'm talking you away
(What did I say yes to?
What did I say?
I've been talking about you so much
I'm talking you away)

Cooking up some mushroom in my kitchen
Tryna tell you about my month
You're only half-listening

I know I never listen
How can I? Your eyes bloom
Slanted yellow in the blinds
Bleeding into a dark room

So how could I say yes to you?
What should I say?
I've been talking 'bout you so much
I'm talking you away
Yea, what did I say yes to?
What did I say?

I've been thinking 'bout you so much
I think I'm thinking you away

I'm opening it up now
What a plunge! What a lark!
I'm picking all the seeds out
I'm peeling off the bark
I'm picking all the seeds out!
I'm breaking it apart
I'm opening it up now
I'm peeling off the bark
