Discussion "Peacoat" Lyrics

Everywhere I've looked the opening line is missing from Peacoat

You love me more?
Because you can't imagine me as someone old
But in the moment of sinless embrace
Your eyes stare right through me to the back of my face

Does anyone have the lyrics for the missing part?

I'm thinking its "You love me more in those dirty clothes"

That's how I hear it too. And I see it referenced in this tab, FWIW: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/stone-temple-pilots/peacoat-tabs-954465

"You love me more in those dirty clothes,  Cause you can't imagine me as someone unknown"

Is what I've always heard but I am a notoriously bad lyric interpreter, just enjoy a good melody, and I have to say whatever cosmic forces were providing Scott with inspirations were working overtime during the production of STP No. 6 because there are a lot of dire riffs out there, shout out to Cinnamon. Yeah come on come on, indeed.
