Lyrics The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady

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 up 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

I got so much positivity

There were amber waves of grain

And hawks and russle thrushes

There were serotonin rushes

There were purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain

There were diamonds in the drain

To me we don't seem all that much better

When he went and climbed up on that cross

To me you don'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 we push it all away

Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith

We pull each other in and 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
