Hold Steady Arms & Hearts Lyrics

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
