Simple Tree

You were cool, slippin' out of your skin after school Driftin' warm through the trees to the pool And all the kids comin' out never knew just exactly the score Baby, where is the girl that I knew? Just before, fast asleep in her clothes on the floor Back two birds with one stone in a storm With your sweater on backwards and torn There was nothin' to warn me, I slept like a lamb in the corn 'Cause I'm goin' like I'd break the speed of sound Kickin' up the dust so all around Comin' like a cougar after me Until you break down around these simple trees, tree This is now, watchin' you and some curtains and clouds If you could get up the nerve to relate To the people with faces you hate I'm gonna write you a song and explain everything that went wrong 'Cause I'm goin' like I'd break the speed of sound Kickin' up the dust so all around Comin' like a cougar after me Until you break down around these simple trees, tree
