The Format - Snails (EP version) lyrics

Nico, come back home Show me that you care And love's not just a flare on my sleeve Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes Set the perfect stage 'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date Life is not a play, it's what we Make of the people we love Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch Oh why, why, why, why, oh, why Are you quick to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 God damn you shrubbery Well I'm sick of vanity plays Should we move to the UK? 'Cause life here in the states has escaped All the people above us What we make of those people we love Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch Oh why, why, why, why, 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 bu*terflies 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, 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, oh Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch
