Song lyrics
Niko take it slow 
Show me that you care 
Your love's not just a flare 
All night please sleep well 
I pray the cardboard boxes 
Set the perfect stage 
Cause wood grain makes all 
Man-made things seem 
So out of date
Life is not a play 
It's what we make of 
The people we love 

Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, Why why why oh why 
You're quick to kiss
She bites the blades and leaves 
Goddamn you shrubbery 
Well I'm sick of vanity plays 

Should we move to the UK 
Cause life here 
In the states has escaped 
All the people above us 
What me make of 
Those people we love 

Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why why why oh why 
You're quick to kiss 
Baby, maybe, I spoke to soon 
I'll touch you once 
You make the first move 
Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch 

I watch her as she runs 
My mother jumps the gun 
She puts her in her arms 
That is just like my mom 
Never lets go
Never lets me grow old 
I want to pay her back 
But love is nothing you can tax 
My family's not rich by any means 
But I feel we won 
The lottery that day
The rock swallowed the girl 
And I cried as cameras 
Caught my eyes
My tears turned into butterflies
They fly away as caskets close 
The new day comes 
You'll wait, unfold it 
Smile when you feel the sunlight 
Feel the sunlight
Feel the sunlight 

Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why why why oh why 
You're quick to kiss 
Baby, maybe, I spoke to soon 
I'll touch you once 
You make the first move 
Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch 

Snails see the benefits 
The beauty in every inch

This is possibly the best song ever. Yeah, I'd say it's definitely up there.

nate has said the song's about "casual sex and my dog, but not casual sex with my dog".

niko is his dog, and i'm pretty sure the rest of the song is about him being in a relationship that was moving too fast.

i've also read that the part about the rock swallowing the girl refers to once when he was growing up, his mom took his dog for a walk. they lived close to this really steep canyon and while they were gone, nate heard that a girl fell into the abyss and thought it was his mom. there was a camera crew from the news station covering the story and that's the "camera caught my eyes" part...

anywho, such a pretty song
