lyrics

Smell of Cut Grass

Careful, California, won’t you come home?
When you do I’ll be standing, dancing, cooking on the stove
You don’t know what you’re missing, caught up in your wishing
Always in a rush & feeling out of touch & living like a thorn on a rose
You’re missing all your joy

A dream that keeps repeating, a song in your head
Think about all those nights that we spent lying in your bed
Try to get it back, filling in the cracks, watch it slip away, start to decay
You remember the way that you felt but not just what you said

Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
Just has to happen, doesn’t have to last
Doesn’t have to last, doesn’t have to last
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass

Goodnight, Carolina, see you down the road
Been a long time since we’ve talked & we’re working on overload
Living on nerves, hitting all the curves, sleep won’t come & it leaves you numb
What am I gonna do with a life that never seems to slow?


Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
Just has to happen, doesn’t have to last
Doesn’t have to last, doesn’t have to last
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass

Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
If you don’t know then you just have to ask
Just have to ask, just have to ask
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass

But when I see you come walking sad-eyed and tired
Earth-shaking, heart-breaking, walking on a wire
Make a little space to lie down for a while & talk about nothing at all
I want to find the same feeling that we found at the start
Shut out the world and climb inside your heart
Baby baby baby, in the beautiful dark
Take me in your ever-loving arms

Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
Just has to happen, doesn’t have to last
Doesn’t have to last, doesn’t have to last
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass

Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
If you don’t know then you just have to ask
Just have to ask, just have to ask
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass

Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
If you don’t know then you just have to ask
Just have to ask, just have to ask
Smell of cut grass, smell of cut grass
