lyrics

I tried going with the grain,
made a wonderful waterfall but I couldn't capture the sky

and you and I, no we don't understand it all
still best not to hide the stains
so turn those cushions back around

For we are but young sheep
we curse through summer's heat

So when will I know what my friends have known,
carry dogs 'cross my shoulder blades,
go out and find that missing rib

'Cause I tried going with the grain,
yeah, I tried almost everything to catch an eye that wasn't mine

Well it's not about finding who you are
It's about finding who you could be
or never want to be again

So when that wool comes don't you tell me it's
pure vicuña or alpaca
just wanna know if it fits

If it's what you made upon your moles and callused pinkish skin
