THE SHINS
"Cherry Hearts (Flipped)"

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
You sent me spinning on my heels
Called the devil for the 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
But 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
You sent me spinning on my heels
I called the devil for the deal
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
And now I'm nervous when we meet
I got nothing below my feet

[Outro:]
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
You sent me spinning on my heels
I called the devil for the deal
You kissed me once
When we were drunk
My head went rolling on the floor
Past the window, out the door
