Story Behind The Song
This quirky love song
Song Description
This quirky love song finds the singer proclaiming his attraction to his potential lover through a series of left-of-center metaphors and analogies, like "I wanna be you pants", I wanna be your Doors", and "I wanna be your universal meaning in the afterlife". A fun verse gives way to a spring chorus with beautifully jangling guitars.

Lyrics
I WANNA BE YOUR PANTS
i wanna be your pants
i wanna be your doors
i wanna be your little golden halo in the afterlife
i wanna be your teeth
i wanna be your dad
i wanna be your little golden halo in the afterlife
maybe we could see a movie
the kind they used to show at movies
take aim kemosabes
we're never gonna make it
we're never gonna shoot 'em down
be grown about it
smile at the babies
i wanna be your pants
i wanna be your shaggs
i wanna be your pal
i wanna be your universal meaning in the afterlife
we'll pretend we're Aldo Nova
and exit the building in a jet pack
take aim kemosabes
we're never gonna make it
we're never gonna shoot 'em down
be grown about it
smile at the babies
i wanna be your pants
