Cherries (Apple Music Home Session)
[Verse 1]
The cherries in your mouth spill stars
Scarlet venom to keep in jam jars
We all build worlds with joined-up scars
But your constellation has stained my guitar
And the French in your mouth breaks ribs
Makes heads go light and hands lose their grip
Pulling teeth behind a bottom lip
To look for cherry stones and rotting apple pips

[Pre-Chorus]
Sunlight eats your skin, look at the state we're in
Look at the state we're in, look at the state we're in
The glare gets in my eyes, please drink the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry

[Chorus]
But don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone, alone

[Verse 2]
The cherries in your mouth break blood
Around your teeth and straight down your tongue
I thought that you would be the one
But your shade of red isn't my kind of fun
And the French in your mouth cracks bones
And splinters hearts all the way down your phone
I thought that we could both atone
But my form of prayer isn't one you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunlight eats your skin, look at the state we're in
Look at the state we're in, look at the state we're in
The glare gets in my eyes, please drink the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry

[Chorus]
But don't leave me here alone, alone
Don't leave me here alone, alone

[Outro]
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone
