Blitzen Trapper - Simple Tree lyrics

You were cool
Slippin' out of your skin after school
Driftin' warm through the trees to the pool
And all the kids comin' 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 nothin' to warn me
I slept like a lamb in the corn

'Cause, I'm goin' like I'd break
The speed of sound
Kickin' up the dust so all around
Comin' like a cougar after me
Until you break down around
These simple trees, tree

This is now
Watchin' 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 goin' like I'd break
The speed of sound
Kickin' up the dust so all around
Comin' like a cougar after me
Until you break down around
These simple trees, tree
