Dogwood - Mat Kerekes

Last night I dreamt of some violence

Then I woke up alone in my room

The shadows claim my soul

My bones will break for you

In a parked car outside of the airport

You turn and you kiss me

Baby, you were golden

My hands still tremble when they touch you

So don’t slow me down too much

Or you’ll pull me in for good

But I don’t care

No, I don’t care

Wrote some sad songs

Got you in some trouble

Oh, I first met you when I was young

I am your good time

I am your big star

You’re my dogwood

You play your cards right

And my head, it runs wild

I lay around, daydreaming of you

We talked all night

You gave me some advice

That I won’t use

So don’t slow me down too much

Or you’ll pull me in for good

But I don’t care

I don’t care

I wish we were younger

Could’ve gave you some big love

Could’ve saved you from hurt that you once knew

Instead only in bits and pieces

I’d think of you

So don’t slow me down too much

Or you’ll pull me in for good

But that’s what I want

That’s what I want
