Written by James Mercer
You're not wanting anybody wants in you I've got to understand But I've been biting all my cherry hearts in two You don't even care
Won't you ever come down from the big rock I found you climbing Stowing your diamonds away
You kissed me once When we were drunk It left me spinning on my heels Call the devil for the deal
You kissed me once When we were drunk My head went moving along the floor Past the window, out the door
Once I said it I knew I wouldn't regret it too It's just too much to share Now you're thinking of sailing into the night To the boy who wasn't there
I'm a practical guy Sometimes I do fly off the handle Thinking in scandalish ways, I've never done time But I've done the crime of wanting Something that never could stay
You kissed me once When we were drunk It left me spinning on my heels Call the devil for the deal
You kissed me once When we were drunk And now I'm nervous when we meet I got nothing under my feet
You kissed me once While we were drunk It left me spinning on my heels Called the devil for the deal
You kissed me once When we were drunk My head went moving along the floor Past the window, out the door
