Under the Pines - Jonathan Coulton

I agreed to host the show

That was how this whole thing started

How was I supposed to know

I would end up so broken hearted

We had one night

That’s all it meant to you

Now I’m alone and I’m wishing I could stop

Thinking of you

I am in love

But it’s only a fantasy

I’m in search of

That hairy creature who cared for me

Under the pines

Tried so hard to play it cool

Didn’t want to overdo it

Wasn’t I a lovesick fool

Sending you a big bag of suet

And a red rose?

I thought at least you’d call

Was I so wrong for expecting something more

Than nothing at all?

I am in love

But it’s only a fantasy

I’m in search of

That hairy creature who cared for me

Under the pines

Close my eyes and I see you there

Musky smell of your matted hair

Our minds were one

But only for a moment

We’re shooting «Atlantis» now

I’m staring at the big blue ocean

I wish you could be here somehow

I wish I really had no emotion

I’d be like you

Living from day to day

Crushing the heads and the hearts of smaller things

And going away

I am in love

But it’s only a fantasy

I’m in search of

That hairy creature who cared for me

Under the pines
