Like Cursing Kids Lyrics

Verse 1:
I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
So my heart keeps leapin' on
Verse 2:
I tried to catch you in a couplet on my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape
So my tongue tied, my tongue tied
The words are small and insignificant,confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
Chorus:
Shake and shiver
And laugh like cursing kids
And all our fitful failures
Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets
And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
Repeat Chorus
