Snails

Nico, take it slow,
Show me that you care
That love's just not a flare on my sleeve

Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes set the perfect stage
'Cause woodgrain makes all man make things seem so out of date,
Life is not a play its what we make of the people we love,

Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss?

She bites at blades and leaves, goddamn you shrubbery,
I'm sick of vanity plates
Should we move to the UK?
'Cause life here in the States has escaped
All the people above
Life's what we make of those people we love Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss?

Baby maybe, I spoke too soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch

I watch her as she runs,
My mother jumps the gun,
She puts her in her arms,
That is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old,
I wanna pay her back,
But love is nothing you can tax

My family's not rich by any means,
But I feel we won the lottery that day,
The rock swallowed the girl,
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes,
My tears turned into butterflies,
They fly away as caskets close
A new day comes you'll wake unfold,
Smile when you feel the sunlight,
You feel the sunlight,
You feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight,

Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss? Baby maybe, I spoke too soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move,
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch

Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
