Marrying Kind 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 lookin’

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

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 ya

When it just is

He put me in a painting without any of my clothes

I was kinda 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

‘Cause 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
