THE HOLD STEADY LYRICS - Arms And Hearts

"Arms And Hearts"



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
