Arms and Hearts - The Hold Steady

To me it just felt like six or seven seconds,
But I guess we went coast to coast
To me he didn't seem all that holy,
But I guess he might have been that ghost

I'm not saying that he came off all that hot
He burned a hole in me eventually
I've been mostly living in the center of your most holy trinity

So maybe now you might go out with me,
'Cause I got so much positivity
And I've got so much positivity

There were amber waves of grain,
and hawks and rustle thrushes
There were serotonin rushes.
There were purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain
There were diamonds in the drain

To me it didn't seem all that much better
When he went and climbed up on that cross
To me you didn't seem all that much like a princess with your
Bandaged hands and your hacking cough.

Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away
Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away

There were crosses and crushes, crashes and hassles
We were kissing in the center while the band played "Ice Cream Castles"

Arms and hearts and alcohol and death
She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet.

Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away
Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away

There were crosses and crushes and crashes and hassles
We were kissing in the center while the band played "Ice Cream Castles"

Arms and hearts and alcohol and death
She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet.

Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away
Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith
We pull each other in and then we push it all away

There were crosses and crushes and crashes and hassles
We were kissing in the center while the band played "Ice Cream Castles"

Arms and hearts and alcohol and death
She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet
