Bluegrass by Matt Phillips and the Philharmonic Lyrics

Well i thought you'd look pretty next to me
Pretty shallow, i'm sorry
I thought i'd have you in the trees
Not the flowers, but good enough for me

Headed up, all was well in carolina
Spending time every day we talked it out
But then a porch swing conversation sent you spinning
Into orbit and spiraling in doubt

So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it
I'll read you a romance novel too
Think about what all your friends are saying
It's only love that's waiting here for you

Now you've gone and gotten yourself in a quandary
You need a man of means to get you to the end
You put your heart out on your sleeve to take a beating
But not a single simple text you'd wanna send

As your behavior shocks the likes of all your exes
And pushes them away it pulls me in
I have nothing but clarity around me
And no excuses for adults who play pretend
So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it
I'll read you a romance novel too
Think about what all your friends are saying
It's only love that's waiting here for you

My buddy calls you late to talk it over:
"is this you? is this who you wanna be?"
I sit and write a song anticipating
And get nostalgic for the weekend in the trees

Pretty faces don't deserve to do the crying
Silently you blame it on yourself
But that's not yet the worst of it they tell me
Cause here i am, another boyfriend that can help

So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it
I'll read you a romance novel too
Think about what all your friends are saying
It's only love that's waiting here for you
It’s only love
