Off By One

You've been kickin' on me

I've been kickin' on you

You've been kickin' my tree just to suck on the fruit

Mop up my troubles and you throw the old sad days away



I've been pickin' your fleas

You've been pickin' my fleas

I've been pickin' this guitar underneath your lovin' tree

Sittin' on this star of ours showin' me a cloud-free galaxy



You're a clean machine

You sparkle in the sun

You're a clean machine

A diamond in the mud



You're a clean machine



I been losin' my brain,

You've been loosenin' my brain

Slicin' off the sour so the good parts remain

Handin' me a band-aid perfect for a soul-sized bullet hole



Down, I've felt that before

Too flat to bounce back

I've been shovin' you around and defending your attack

Attack it like a leaky sack of sugar with a sweetness I can taste



You're a clean machine

You sparkle in the sun

You're a clean machine

A diamond in the mud



You're a clean machine
