Sandpaper Lyrics
[Verse 1: Zach Bryan]
Shape you take when you lay like that
Reminds me of a love I've never had
If loving's wrong, what's a boy to do?
I ain't scared of death, I'm scared of losin' you
You ain't outta my league, you're outta this planet
But dammit if you ain't drilled into my skull
[Chorus: Zach Bryan]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag and spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons
[Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen]
When I close my eyes, I think of times
I could smell and hear that northern thunder
Every pine has its time
To outgrow the rains of days a-younger
I'll be still at the cuttin' mill
Just makin' me a roof that you can hide under
[Chorus: Bruce Springsteen, Zach Bryan & Bruce Springsteen]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons
Shape you take when you lay like that
Reminds me of a love I've never had
If loving's wrong, what's a boy to do?
I ain't scared of death, I'm scared of losin' you
You ain't outta my league, you're outta this planet
But dammit if you ain't drilled into my skull
[Chorus: Zach Bryan]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag and spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons
[Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen]
When I close my eyes, I think of times
I could smell and hear that northern thunder
Every pine has its time
To outgrow the rains of days a-younger
I'll be still at the cuttin' mill
Just makin' me a roof that you can hide under
[Chorus: Bruce Springsteen, Zach Bryan & Bruce Springsteen]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons
[Bridge: Bruce Springsteen]
Hmm
Ooh
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & Bruce Springsteen]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons now
Hmm
Ooh
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & Bruce Springsteen]
Take a trip uptown to clear you out of my mind
You're like sandpaper; the more I try, you bind
Winter was a drag, but spring was a friend
I'll love you 'til the summer comes back again
And they've been tryin' to smooth me out
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons now
For twenty-seven seasons now
