Pinned
Shovels & Rope

was it something that I said

that turned your laughter into lead?

did I pin too much of me onto you?

or was I just too blind to see?

it wasn't love but sympathy.


but I still pinned all of my longing onto you

you were dark and bitter cold

you're eyes were fixed upon the road

when you said, what did you expect

that I would do?

that's all there was to say


the wind just blew my words away

I guess I'll pin my loneliness onto you

funny how I'm in my darkest place

on the sunniest of days

when I think of all the time we waste...


did she melt you with her glance

when you couldn't help but watch her dance

did she pin that warm desire onto you

did she whisper something crass as you were filling up her glass

did she pin a little smile onto you

did the smell of her perfume

hang like a target in your room

well tell me what could you expect a man would do

and did you start to love her lesser

when you started to undress her


as she pinned all of her fire onto you


funny how I'm in my darkest place

on the sunniest of days

when I think about all the time that gets wasted...


talkin' to my brother

making plans about the summer

he said, I'll pin a little lesson on to you

because I'm older and I'm smarter

and my life has been much harder

brother let me pin a little knowledge on to you


he said, religion is an actor

learn to trust your gut

and don't ever let 'em tell you what to do

I said, that sounds pretty nice I think I'll follow your advice

before they pin that sorry story on me, too.

I won't fall for that one twice.

I believe I'd rather roll the dice

keep on rollin' till I know just what to do.
