Pinegrove – Neighbor Lyrics

Neighbor By Pinegrove

Little insect upside down & trying
To right-side-up itself felt by my right foot tapping
Squirming mechanism & it spins & tips vertical
But in my alien eye i can see he is beautiful

Well i love my neighbor
I love his determined behavior
If it were me i probably
Might have just stayed there

Mid-sized opossum in front of my house dying
Collided with a vehicle driving it out through the lightning
She falls down softly in the middle of the lane incoming
& its clearly incumbent on me to run out to her & do something
So i approach her there im suddenly squirming
I’m scared & i’m tryna do right but i guess i desecrate everything

I love my neighbor
I loved her courageous behavior
A ray now shines out of her mouth
& it points back to nature
Morning gosling echoing wide around me
A V migrating down easy to a better climate
A startling shot rings out & now the geese are all screaming
The marksman’s adrenaline’s up as he stands up smiling

Well i love my neighbor but
Don’t understand his behavior
I love that bird
But i don’t ever want to take her
