Pinned Lyrics - Swimmin' Time - Shovels & Rope

Was it something that I said 

That turned your laughter into lead? 

Did I pin too much of me onto you? 

Or was I just too blind to see? 

It wasn't love but sympathy. 

But I still pinned all of my longing onto you 

You were dark and bitter cold 

You're eyes were fixed upon the road 

When you said, "what did you expect 

That I would do?" 

That's all there was to say 

The wind just blew my words away 

I guess I'll pin my loneliness onto you 

Funny how I'm in my darkest place 

On the sunniest of days 

When I think of all the time we waste 

Did she melt you with her glance 

When you couldn't help but watch her dance 

Did she pin that warm desire onto you 

Did she whisper something crass as you were filling up her glass 

Did she pin a little smile onto you 

Did the smell of her perfume 

Hang like a target in your room 

Well tell me what could you expect a man would do 

And did you start to love her lesser 

When you started to undress her 

As she pinned all of her fire onto you 

Funny how I'm in my darkest place 

On the sunniest of days 

When I think about all the time that gets wasted 

Talkin' to my brother 

Making plans about the summer 

He said, "I'll pin a little lesson on to you 

Because I'm older and I'm smarter 

And my life has been much harder 

Brother let me pin a little knowledge on to you 

He said, "religion is an actor 

Learn to trust your gut 

And don't ever let 'em tell you what to do" 

I said, "that sounds pretty nice I think I'll follow your advice 

Before they pin that sorry story on me, too. 

I won't fall for that one twice. 

I believe I'd rather roll the dice 

Keep on rollin' till I know just what to do."
