Cherry Popsicle (Grunge Cut)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Freshman year and she walked in the door
Red hair down to the floor
Octagon frames and a flannel shirt
Nerd Smurfette, man it kinda hurt
Smart as hell and she fit right in
With the herd like she’d always been
Wrote a book report to ask her out
Had to twist the plot to figure it out
She said yes to the awkward kid
Not the guy I thought I’d been
She said yes to me again

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then pull me closer
Heart goes loud when the heat gets lower
One more look and the whole world bends
I know, I know what happens then

[Chorus]
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
One more taste and I’m falling apart
You got that sugar straight to my heart
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
Summer was born when you chose me
Cherry popsicle, let’s do it again

[Verse 2]
Then one day the girl transformed
Cut the hair, got it permed and formed
Contacts in where the frames once were
Flannel slipped off, suddenly it stirred
Every other guy could see it too
What I always kinda knew
That you were beautiful all along
But you were mine when you seemed wrong
Wrong by the world’s measure line
Right by every beat of mine
Didn’t ask for that makeover
But I watched you rise and shine
And you stayed, you stayed with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then pull me closer
Heart goes loud when the heat gets lower
One more look and the whole world bends
I know, I know what happens then

[Chorus]
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
One more taste and I’m falling apart
You got that sugar straight to my heart
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
Summer was born when you chose me
Cherry popsicle, let’s do it again

[Bridge]
Back seat glow on a summer night
Didn’t think that you’d say yes alright
Thought you’d laugh and just tell me no
But you smiled and you pulled me close
And we melted into each other
Like something too sweet to last
But it did, it kept on burning
Through every season that passed

[Breakdown]
Brown glass glow on your skin at dusk
Little white gulls and a trail of dust
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up
I like it here when the sky turns plush

[Final Chorus]
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
One more taste and I’m falling apart
You got that sugar straight to my heart
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast
Summer was born when you chose me
And you’re still choosing my heart
Cherry popsicle, stay in my hand
Cherry popsicle, don’t melt too fast

[Outro]
Red hair down to the floor
Octagon frames, flannel shirt
Nerd Smurfette in my front row
My girl then, my girl I know
Still mine, still sweet, still clear
Still melting, still right here
