Kevin Devine - Like Cursing Kids lyrics

rate me

I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today

And my heart lept, and my heart lept

I saw the sickle of a dimple slash the side of her face

And my heart lept, my heart lept

And then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train

Her kooky make up of a brat(?) and I kept out of her way

And not that actress playing dress up on the subway today

So my heart keeps leapin' on

I tried to catch you on a cut put on my four-track today

But my tongue tied, my tongue tied

Couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of a tape

So my tongue tied, my tongue tied

The words seemed small and insignificant, confused and cliche

You saw my promise and potential, through my guilt and my shame

I couldn't catch that in a cut but on my best goddamn day

My tied tongue tumbles on

I'm shakin. shiver.

And laugh like cursing kids

And all our fitful failures

For every time we kiss

So cross your fingers, place your bets and hold that glow in your face

Let my big mouth, ramble on

I'm shakin. shiver.

And laugh like cursing kids

And all our fitful failures

For every time we kiss

So cross your fingers, place your bets and hold that glow in your face

Let my big mouth, ramble on
