Sandpaper Lyrics

The shape you take when you lay like that
Reminds me of a love I′ve never had
If loving's wrong, what′s a boy to do?
I ain't scared of death, I'm scared of losing you
You ain′t out of my league, you′re out of this planet
But dammit if you ain't drilled into my skull

Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You′re like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind

Winter was a drag and spring was a friend
I'll love you ′til the summer comes back again
They've been tryin′ to smooth me out
For 27 seasons now
For 27 seasons now

When I close my eyes, I think of times
I could smell and hear, that northern thunder
Every pine has its time
But outgrow the rings of days a-younger
I'll be still at the cutting mill
Just makin' me a roof that you can hide under

Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You′re like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind

Winter was a drag and spring was a friend
I′ll love you 'til the summer comes back again
They′ve been tryin' to smooth me out
For 27 seasons now
For 27 seasons

Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You′re like sandpaper, the more I try, you bind

Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend
I'll love you ′til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For 27 seasons now
For 27 seasons now

For 27 seasons now
