Lyrics Snails - Live - The Format

Nico, come back home
Show me that you care
That love's not just a flare on my sleeve
Sleep well
I pray that cardboard boxes set the perfect stage
'Cause wood grain makes our man-made things seem so out of date
Life is not a place
It's what we make of the people we love

Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
So why, why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kill us?
She bites at blades then leaves
Goddamn you're trouble
I'm sick of vanity plays
Should we move to the U.K.?
'Cause life here in the states has escaped all the people above
Life's what we make of those people we love

Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
So why, why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kill us?
Baby, maybe I spoke too soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch

I watch her as she runs
My mother jumps the gun
And she puts her in her arms
That is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old
I wanna pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax
My family's not rich by any means
But I feel we won the lottery that day
The rock swallowed the girl
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes
My tears turned into butterflies
They fly away as caskets close
A new day comes, your wake unfolds
And you smile when you feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight

Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
So why, why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kill us?
Baby, maybe I spoke too soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
