Pinned

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?
I still pinned all of my longing onto you.
Well, you were dark and bitter cold,
Your eyes were fixed upon the road.
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 about all the time we waste...
Yeah
Did she melt you with her glance
When you couldn't help but watch her dance?
Did she pin that warm desire onto you?
And did she whisper something crass
As you were filling up her glass?
Did she pin a little smile onto you?
And did the smell of her perfume
Hang like a target in your room?
Tell me, what did 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 we waste...
Yeah
Talkin' to my brother
Making plans about the summer
He said, "I'll pin a little lesson onto you,
Because I'm older and I'm smarter,
And my life has been much harder,
Brother, let me pin a little knowledge onto 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,
And keep on rollin' till I know what to do
Keep on rollin' till I know what to do
