lyrics
Here's to Love (acoustic)
(Shawn Harris, Miles Hurwitz, the Matches)
The first had scars in her eyebrows
just like yours
Woke the neighbors with another
I hope you heard
One more on all fours, forehead to floor
like yours once was
and I hope you heard
One with breath all menthol
just like yours
Tangled in taxis with another
I hope you heard
The sun's exposed my clothes scattered across more
bedroom floors than just yours
And I hope you heard
And ah-ah-ah-ah-I-I
I hope it gets
back to you
back to back to you
oh-oh-oh
back at you
Ah-ha-ha I hope it gets back to you
it gets you, it gets to you
My gun show hoodie is history
it's just like yours
Goodwill's got your mixtapes
I hope you heard
Kept the ticket stubs in the bottom drawer
mine and yours
I don't care
And I hope you heard
Love moves like a car crash
Love soothes like a whiplash
… toast to lost romance
So hoist high that empty glass
Here's to love
Here's to love
Here's to love
Here's to luv
