Patchwork Girlfriend - Punch Brothers

I run my fingers through her blackish, blondish hair

Look into her brown, blue eyes and touch her skin so dark and fair

Because I like how she encourages and scolds me

How even as her left hand pushes me away her right arm holds me

It’s nice to know she’s always waiting for me at the dead ends

Guess I need a little love from every little square

Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

I can’t tell if she would rather take or leave me

And I’m not sure what I’m saying but I’m sure I want her to believe me

So I run my fingers through her blackish, blondish, brownish, reddish grayish

(Grayish?) hair

And tell her I won’t mess around with other girls unless they’re her

It’s nice to know she’s always waiting for me at the dead ends

Guess I need a little love from every little square

Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Though I’m no more boy scout than boyfriend

I could see tying the knot

Instead, it’s my hands that are tied

Because that’d be against the law, even in Utah

It’s nice to know she’s always waiting for me at the dead ends

Guess I need a little love from every little square

Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

She’s anywhere I could ever go, ain’t no false start or dead end

That could take me away from, couldn’t bring me back to

My sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Oh, my bitter big patchwork girlfriend

Oh, my sweet little patchwork girlfriend
