Cherry Hearts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're not wanting anybody wanting you
I get it, all is fair
But I've been biting all my cherry hearts in two
You don't even care
Won't you ever come down from the big rock I found you climbing
Stowing your diamonds away
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
It left me spinning on my heels
Called the devil for a deal
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
My head went rolling on the floor
Past the window, out the door
Once I said it I knew I would regret it too
It's just too much to share
Now you're fading, sailing in the night
For the boy who wasn't there
I'm a practical guy
But sometimes I can fly off the handle
Thinking in scandalous ways
I've never done time
But I've done the crime of wanting
Something that never could stay
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
It left me spinning on my heels
Called the devil for a deal
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
And now I'm nervous when we meet
I got nothing under my feet
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
It left me spinning on my heels
Called the devil for a deal
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
My head went rolling on the floor
Past the window, out the door
