Cherry Ice

Cherry ice
Cherry ice

Cherry slush melting on the console
Parking lot at half past ten
You say we're done because I rolled my eyes
I say fine and start the fight again
Every tiny thing goes nuclear
Every bad minute gets a name
We keep throwing forever at each other
Like forever is a game

Then you storm off mad
With your keys in my coat

Almost over (almost over)
Over cherry ice
Red on your tongue
Laugh before it melts tonight

Red tongue (hey)
Cold hands (hey)
Cherry ice

You reach the sidewalk, pat your pockets
Turn around, trying not to smile
I hold the keys up like a referee
You call me impossible from half a mile
By the time you make it back
We both know how dumb it got
Maybe love needs less disaster
Every time a small thing goes wrong

You grab the keys
I grab your hand

Almost over (almost over)
Over cherry ice
Red on your tongue
Laugh before it melts tonight

So we made a rule on the hood of the car
Written in slush on a napkin
Nobody says "we're done"
Over anything smaller than a dog

Not over (not over)
Over cherry ice
Red on your tongue
Buy another one tonight

Not over (not over)
Over cherry ice
Red on your tongue
Buy another one tonight
