Arms & Hearts Songtext
von The Hold Steady

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

And 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 was purple mountain majesty above that 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
A 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, 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
