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 of 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
Keep on rollin' 'til I know what to do
Keep on rollin' 'til I know what to do"
