Crackerjack Heart lyrics

it`s the way you always did those little things
that set me up and tore me down
when you raised hell in the Burger King
`cause they stopped making those
cardboard crowns

it`s the way you look in these photographs
i can`t bring myself to throw away
you`re still a rush of color on the tilt-o-whirl
it`s just the background that`s turning gray

something i needed in that shot
something i need

girl i miss your crackerjack heart
and the fake tattoos that say `Forever Yours`
i could tear this town apart
looking for a toy, but that`s not the point
when all i`m after is a simple surprise

it`s the way you taste like a storm
rolling in across the bed
the way you answer me with those eyes
speaking volumes about things unsaid
the way your dumbest joke finds a laugh
that`s been welling in my darkest place
ever since i was an atom or a star
smiling like i had a face

just waiting for that stupid joke
waiting for you

the way you walk out of a room
and leave me wonderin` what i`m doing there
in the same way just one Northern-bound train
turned this whole damn town into nowhere

i`m a bit shy of lonesome
far cry from you
