[Verse 1]
The Hollywood Hills weren't made for someone like me
The banks and the rivers were always more my speed
Time has passed slowly since the day that I ran away
And the more that I picture your smile, I see my mistake

[Chorus]
You and the pines
Are loving, long and waiting
Grinning with your arms out under
Gray skies
Masking all the pain inside
And knowing that you're desperate to be saved

[Verse 2]
Loved every moment I spent, just being with you
But lonely took hold and I did what I'd never do
Time has passed slowly since the day that I ran away
And the more that I picture your face, see my mistake

[Chorus]
You and the pines
Are loving, long and waiting
Grinning with your arms out under
Gray skies
Masking all the pain inside
Knowing that you're desperate to be saved
[Outro]
Time has passed slowly since the day that I ran away
And the more that I picture your smile, I see my mistake
