Slug - Body Pillow lyrics

Then there was this one night where I took the time To examine a napkin in a Chicago hotel room I wasn't alone, it was a night after a show Space was full, energy was consumed There was a girl, emphasis on the L She was noticin' the detail as well The two of us found something with each other, previously undiscovered Hell is full of lovers And the day light is bright Always makes me squint But it feels like magic when it touches my face Suffocate myself, overwhelm myself Let the sun rays abandon me, floatin' through space Chorus: And she still wonders why I'm so insecure She giggles because I sleep with a body pillow Intentions are never nothing short of pure But there's a price to pay when you try to live a little And as attractive as that napkin ever could've been My how it unfolded, hold it to the wind Try now to be a rock, but she's caught under the skin Ex-lover and a best friend, just like the rest of them Then there was this one night, I watched someone bite The tip of a cigarette, to hold it in between their lips Never met nobody like her, please brace yourself Danger, danger, this might hurt The playground feels alot different when the sun's out She wasn't messing around, she came in with the guns out Screamin' about the ocean, "anybody wanna go with me?" Never knew punk rock could be so pretty Now catch your breath and then catch the ball And sit by the phone so you can catch the call Writin' catchy one liners on the bathroom stall Here I go, wouldn't you know, still learning to crawl Chorus I've always loved the way you love the way your tattoos intimidate men I guess I'm one of them Standin' right next to you from way over here Ex-lover and a best friend (ex-lover and a best friend) Then there was this one night I noticed a tree That stood by itself about an hour up north And I could picture her holding on to the limb Wearing a summer dress and a grin, swinging back and forth Talkin' about the breeze, how easy it is To leave all the worries in the back seat Teach me please, I need the abilities to live Silly me, I tried to measure it by what I can give But she didn't need anything, just a pair of beers Some strong fingers, and someone to share the tears Read the fear, feeling it, inadequate Now let's make believe that I can handle it Chorus And I still get to talk to you every now and then Definition of over, doesn't have to be the end It's good to see you grow, girl, shake my hand That's all I want from my ex-lover and my best friend That's all i want I got your back, don't ever f**ing question that, I got your back, always Always, I still got your back Chorus (whispered) x2
