Pinegrove
Peeling Off the Bark (Montclair, NJ)
[Intro]
Nandi Rose, everybody
[Verse 1]
Leaning in a dark room
A lookalike James Wright
When all my life I've been rejecting
What'll 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
[Chorus]
What did I say yes to?
What did I say?
I've been talking about you so much
I'm talking you away
Oh, what did I say yes to?
What did I say?
I've been talking about you so much
I'm talking you away
[Verse 2]
Cooking up some mushroom (Ah-ah)
In my kitchen
Tryna tell you about my month
You're only half-listening
I know I never listen (Ah-ah)
How can I? Your eyes bloom
Slanted yellow in the blinds
Bleeding into a dark room
[Chorus]
So how could I say yes to you?
What should I say?
I've been talking about you so much
I'm talking you away
Oh, what did I say yes to?
What did I say?
I've been thinking about you so much
I think I'm thinking you away
[Outro]
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
