about

Snake in the Grass 4:13
A soaring voice admits that dating and deception can have a lot in common in this cinematic ballad. We’ve all been there.
Comparison - Rufus Wainwright, Grizzly Bear

lyrics

You are not innocent she said with a smile as she held my hand
We’ve all been a snake in the grass once or twice I guess
I never confess my sins
My grandmother’s episcopalian
If you’re in you’re in

First date so hesitant while I don’t have a clue even who I am
Identities tossed at the river like poker hands
I don’t even play to win
I just do what little things that I can
To feel like there’s a plan

But even when our love is real
I feel so low
Like I’m a fraud
It swells in me this shameful doubt
I hate myself I doubt myself
Sure one day must my luck run out

But even when our love is real
I feel so low
Like I’m a fraud
It swells in me this shameful doubt
I hate myself I doubt myself
There’s only one way to find out
