Annotated lyrics for The Hold Steady song 'Arms and Hearts' - To me it just felt like six or seven seconds / But I guess we went coast to coast / To me he didn't seem all that holy / But I guess he might have been that ghost / I'm not saying that he came off all that hot / He burned a hole in me eventually / I've been mostly living in the center of your most holy trinity / So maybe now you might go out with me / Cause I got so much positivity / And I've got so much positivity / There were amber waves of grain / And hawks and rustle thrushes / There were serotonin rushes / There were purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain / There were diamonds in the drain / To me it didn't seem all that much better / When he went and climbed up on that cross / To me you didn't seem all that much like a princess with your / Bandaged hands and your hacking cough / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / There were crosses and crushes, crashes and hassles / We were kissing in the center while the band played 'Ice Cream Castles' / Arms and hearts and alcohol and death / She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / There were crosses and crushes and crashes and hassles / We were kissing in the center while the band played 'Ice Cream Castles' / Arms and hearts and alcohol and death / She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / Arms and hearts and alcohol and faith / We pull each other in and then we push it all away / There were crosses and crushes and crashes and hassles / We were kissing in the center while the band played 'Ice Cream Castles' / Arms and hearts and alcohol and death / She was awkward and thoughtful and ascending into heaven dripping wet
