Buried Bones

[Verse 1: Stuart Staples & Ann Magnuson]

I could take all that craziness out of you

That's what I loved you for

I could take away all the orange, greens and blues

That's what I loved you for

Hey, take a look at me

You think it really could be that easy?

I mean, take a look at me

You think it really could be that easy for you?

[Chorus: Stuart Staples & Ann Magnuson]

I know about guys, I know the way they live

And you're just the same

The ones that matter fight against themselves

But it's so hard to change

Hey, I could love you

Take all that I love away from you

Hey, I could love you

Put you in this box I've made for two

[Verse 2: Stuart Staples & Ann Magnuson]

So you could take all this craziness out of me

Ask what you loved me for

Well, I don't mean to laugh

But if you know all this

You must be halfway there

But like that dress tonight, you won't notice as it falls from you

Turn around and it's winter, darling

Look in the mirror and it won't be you

[Chorus: Stuart Staples & Ann Magnuson]

So you're an old, old dog

You've been around the block

So many times

And it's the same old turns

Same old feelings, straight down the line

Hey, I could love you

Grab that leash and drag you to a place you've never known

I know where my bones are buried

May take me a while, but I'd find my way home
