Hot blood in my pulsing veins, heavy memories weighing on my brain. Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place. You used to be so sweet. Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street. Couldn't look away even if I wanted. Try to walk away but I come back to the start. Led me to the floor even though I'm not a dancer. Asked me all the questions that your parents wouldn't answer. How could I deny a diamond in the rough? You let me in your world until you had enough. You knew that I wanted you to bend the rules. How did I believe I had a hold on you? You were always stronger than people suspected. Underestimated and overprotected. When I went away it was the only option. Couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution. The most that could give to you was nothing at all. The best that I could offer was to miss your calls. Being back here makes me hot in the face. Hot blood in my pulsing veins, heavy memories weighing on my brain. Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents’ place. You used to be so sweet. Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street. Couldn't look away even if I wanted. Try to walk away but I come back to the start. And it happens over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again. I wish I was over it, over it, over it, over it. A hidden gem, my own gold mine. You had the wide and wild eyes. You were a secret to yourself you couldn't keep from anyone else. Now you're the biggest brightest flame. You are a fire that can't be tamed. You're better than ever but I knew you when. It's bittersweet to see you again.

A preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a leader, taught me how to build a fire, and to spread the word. In the evening everybody went to worship and weep. Hands above our heads, reaching for God. Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunkbed, you were waiting for a revelation of your own. Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut, locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your heart, waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted. You were gonna win me over from the start. Your poetry was so bad, it took a lot to not laugh. You said that I showed you the light, but all it did, in the end, was make the dark feel darker than before. Your dad keeps his sleeves down through the summer for a reason. Your mother wears her makeup extra thick for a reason. When I tell you, you were born and you are here for a reason, you are not convinced the reason is a good one. While you're going to sleep your mind keeps you awake, and it makes your heart beat fast and loud. There's nothing you can do, but the only thing you found: playing Slayer at full volume helps to drown it out. Your poetry was so bad, it took a lot to not laugh. You said that I showed you the light, but all it did, in the end, was make the dark feel darker than before. Dark feel darker than before. Dark feel darker than before.

I thought she might know everything. I took her word like a golden ring. I asked her how to win my man and she said, “I know just the thing.” Gave me lipgloss and a hair toss and, after school, a lesson in kissing. She called me by the name of her crush, I couldn't decide if she was Cole or Justin. I think I called her baby or darling most the time. We’d take turns being seduced, imagining the day it would come into use, imagining the day we’d start breaking hearts and taking names. She wanted a three story house. I wanted to live by a body of water with my children and their father, children and their father, three sons and a beautiful daughter. Rachel’s family moved out of town. I don't remember when we stopped hanging out, but I still wear a letter R charm on my bracelet and wonder if she thinks of me as her first kiss Lucy Dacus: https://lucydacus.com/​ https://www.facebook.com/lucy.dacus/​ https://twitter.com/lucydacus​ https://www.instagram.com/lucydacus/ Matador Records on the web: http://www.matadorrecords.com/​ https://www.facebook.com/matadorrecords https://twitter.com/matadorrecords​ https://instagram.com/matadorrecords #LucyDacus #KissingLessons

You knew you were uncool, but you thought you could fool me. They play oldies in the afternoon for the elderly and me and you. Fred and Ginger, black and white. I watch you watch 'It's A Wonderful Life'. You called me cerebral. I didn't know what you meant. But now I do. Would it have killed you to call me pretty instead? I'm in a second story window and you're yelling at me "Stella!" and I'm laughing cause you think you're Brando but you'll never come close. All I need for you to admit is that you never knew me like you thought you did. You never knew me like you thought you did, like you thought you did. You say, "Here's lookin' at you kid," thinking I wouldn't understand the reference. You admit, you think we're fated. I'll be lucky if I'm your third wife. That's only something you would say in the car. We've been breathing the same air for too long. If the snow wasn't coming down so hard, I would open the door and walk home. It's only a couple miles. What could go wrong if I hitch a ride with a guy in a pick up who doesn't know left from right from wrong? All I need for you to admit is that you never knew me like you thought you did. You never knew me like you thought you did, like you thought you did. All I need for you to admit is that you never knew me like you thought you did. You never knew me like you thought you did, like you thought you did.

I’m still a nervous kid after all this time. Can you imagine what it’s like to be here with you now? Forget your current lover, remember me that one July, laying bareback on dirt roads, watching the planes at night. Who knew on day it’d be so hard to have you by my side? Now I’m awake at 2AM without a cause to draw you in. Buy-low-sell-high kind of guy. Invest your time in what’s worthwhile. Was I a risk without reward or did I make you proud? Now I’m awake at 2AM without a cause to draw you in. I’m just calling cause I’m used to it and you’ll pick up cause you’re not a quitter. You’ve got addictions too, it’s true, you’ve got addictions too. You’ve been around the world and back and always return to the ones you love. You’ve got a sense of adventure and a penchant for comfort that keeps you at home. I’m just calling cause I’m used to it and you’ll pick up cause you’re not a quitter. You’ve got addictions too, it’s true, you’ve got addictions too. We’re erasing years of senseless waiting. You’ve got addictions too, it’s true. you’ve got addictions too. You’ve got addictions too, it’s true. you’ve got addictions too.
