Those Things Lyrics

One of those things

About you I like

Is your respect for insect life

How you gently help them find the kitchen window

Align the rows

Await the bees

In our one plant garden of green

Where spring is forever and shoes are illegal

That first tomato

Like the setting sun

Red and yellow blend into one

More reason to say "Fuck industrial agriculture"

How mother nature herself sprouted me to be

A sunflower seaside facing east

Overflowin with seeds

Our freezer's filled

With composted crud

The future stinks or at least it would

If you didn't leave your notes inside my margins

Your asterisk

To clarify

At the risk of feeling fine

I take your sunburnt hand in mine

New Jersey knows

That I'll be back

It's a matter of time it's a matter of fact

A shiny red pin on my bedroom map

As creature comforts

Crawl away

Or hide from me as they migrate

Up the coast to the Garden State

How mother nature herself sprouted me to be

A sunflower seaside facing east

Overflowin with seeds

How mother nature herself sprouted me to be

A sunflower seaside facing east

Overflowin with seeds

And those little bugs that live on the sill

Just a tiny part of the life we built

One of those things I love about you
