Words and music by Matt Phillips

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 want to 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 want to 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
