Like Cursing Kids [Explicit]

I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today
And my heart left, my heart left
I saw the sickle of your dimple slash the side of her face
And my heart left, my heart left
But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train
Kabuki make-up, a lip-wet ring, I kept out of her way
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
So my heart keeps leaping on
I tried to catch you in a couplet on my four-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
Couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape
So my tongue tied, my tongue tied
The words seem small and insignificant, confused and clichéd
You saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
And we shake and shiver and laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures fade every time we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
And we shake and shiver and laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures fade every time we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
