Lyrics Jenny Lewis – Dogwood
Text:
The dogwood’s in bloom
Take off your shoes
You cannot choose your family, oh
There’s nothing we can do
And booze and amphetamines, oh
In the springtime, in the house
I was determined to work it out
Oh, in the springtime, in the house
The neighbors heard us scream and shout
And somewhere a screw got loose along the way
And your manners have gone away
And I believe that there will come a day
I believe that you will chase me away
So they can’t prove
Love is not enough for you
There’s nothing I can do
‘Cause I fell in love with you
In the springtime, in the house
I was determined to work it out
Oh, in the springtime, in the house
I never told you I had my doubts
And somewhere a screw got loose along the way
And our manners have gone away
And I believe that there will come a day
I believe that you will chase me away
So that you can prove
Love is not enough for you
You thought I was your muse
But all along it was you
And the dogwood’s in bloom
There’s nothing we can do
But screw, oh
