Moose Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's home with you, girl, so I can hear you breathe.
With your hair up like you do,
And that face that you give me when you've missed me.
And I've missed our girl so god damn much,
I've smoked a lot and I feel so rough.
Guess this is just what I wanna do,
I was young and irresponsible
About a year ago and it's impossible to tell
If my hands will ever warm up
I don't believe in growing up but
Look at me now, I'm engaged to be married,
I'm only 23 and I've got myself a family.
She's not mine and she never will be,
I'm reminded every day.
She's not mine and it fucking kills me,
She won't look at me that way
I was young and irresponsible
About a year ago and it's impossible to tell
If my hands will ever warm up
I don't believe in growing up
The opening lines of "Cherry" describe a strong longing to be with someone that is deeply loved. The singer is very clear on where they want to be, and it's in the arms of their special person. They paint a vivid picture of the one they love, describing the girl's hair tied up and her facial expression when she greets the singer after a long period of time apart. The singer has missed the girl a lot and has been coping by smoking cigarettes that are only half-smoked and singing to nearly empty rooms.
In contrast to the images of love and longing, the song's lyrics also reveal a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The singer states that they were once "young and irresponsible," and it's unclear whether they have since grown up or if they even believe in the idea of growing up. The discovery of love, made more complicated by the fact that the woman is not the singer's, brings conflicting emotions about a future together. The singer feels trapped in a situation where they cannot have the person they love, which is very painful.

This song bring me back regards when I was in a relationship with a girl that really loved me but i was suffering about another girl that doesn't love me the same. Today I feel guilty for that one who really loved me. Now we've took difrents ways and I think is the best we could do. I was young and irresponsible. What a times
