Cherry Knots Lyrics

Well I can tie cherry knots downtown at the bar

But that'll never matter 'cause I love from afar

My problem is I fall in love with falling in love

Then when things get real that's when I've had enough

Don't know why I'm addicted to this sense of longing

Why can't I be happy with all or nothing

I wonder, Is it better to be loved or feared

Is it better to be normal or weird?

When I open my mouth, I can't tell what comes out

Is it an echo or an answer that's filled with self-doubt

I feel myself slipping away, back to you, back to gray

Release my burdens unto him but I don't feel any better

Where is my awakening, my coming of age, my reckoning

Taking things one day at a time but I feel a storm is coming

Is it better to be loved or feared

Should I fight when it's cloudy, not clear

When I open my mouth, I can't tell what comes out

Do I even know what I'm talking about

But someday I'll tie cherry knots uptown at the bar

Then I'll kiss your cheek in the back of the car

And I'll remember this day when I was so cold

Before you looked at me and gave me the world

Before you looked at me and gave me the world
