June Swoon - 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 f*cked
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
