"Cherry Hearts" lyrics - THE SHINS

THE SHINS
"Cherry Hearts"
(James Mercer)

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
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
