Kaeson Rempel - Cherry Knots Lyrics

Well I can tie cherry knots downtown at the bar
But that'll never matter 'cause I love from afar
My problem is I fall in love with falling in love
Then when things get real that's when I've had enough
Don't know why I'm addicted to this sense of longing
Why can't I be happy with all or nothing

I wonder, Is it better to be loved or feared
Is it better to be normal or weird?
When I open my mouth, I can't tell what comes out
Is it an echo or an answer that's filled with self-doubt

I feel myself slipping away, back to you, back to gray
Release my burdens unto him but I don't feel any better
Where is my awakening, my coming of age, my reckoning
Taking things one day at a time but I feel a storm is coming

Is it better to be loved or feared?
Should I fight when it's cloudy, not clear
When I open my mouth, I can't tell what comes out
Do I even know what I'm talking about

But someday I'll tie cherry knots uptown at the bar
Then I'll kiss your cheek in the back of the car
And I'll remember this day when I was so cold
Before you looked at me and gave me the world
Before you looked at me and gave me the world
