lyrics

Picking cherries on the weekend, we couldn’t
Tie them with our tongues
It was very wholesome
Except how you looked at me when I was looking
Down from the pier, said, “Think I’d make it from up here?”
You said, “Man, that’s dark, thought we were having fun.”
I said, “Aren’t we?”

Went with you to a party, your friends were tying the knot
It was picture-perfect
Except my face when someone told me
You used to date, said, “Isn’t it such a shame,
She’s his one who got away?”
And I spit out my champagne

Surprise, I’m not the marrying kind like her
And I don’t learn my lessons
I just keep going back to the drawing board
Mind on another clown
Heart with another bite out
I hope I don’t live more than once
I think I’ve seen enough

I took up with a painter who painted better than he fucked
He was pretty with it
Except he believed the world was better
Off from his art, I can’t imagine how that felt
To think the abyss needs anything from you
When it just is

He put me in a painting without any of my clothes
I was kind of flattered
Except at the gallery, how he described me:
“She’s just like a ball, you can push her underwater
and she’ll always come back up”

Surprise, I’m not the burying kind like her
And I’m trying to learn my lessons
I just keep going back to the drawing board
Mind on another clown
Heart with another bite out
I hope I don’t live more than once
I’d just keep going back to the drawing board
Mind on another clown
Heart with another bite out
I hope I don’t live more than once

This ride has been fun, kind of
But someday, I’d like to get off

I’m surprised I apologized for so long
You couldn’t pay me to learn that lesson
No more
