Never thought to look in the most obvious of places, for
Gems tucked away in bygone neighbourhoods
I had made a habit of rolling on
Blamed it on the trend that
All the good shit was moving North
I'd be selling myself short
Playing in that part of town where I spent summer '9 fooling around
With the wrong man – little brute and his heavy hand
I would eat up the end of day
Rage of driving place to place
Built to such extremes that even
Battery looked good to me
Natural that I would never look at
Those Plateau homes the same
Thank god instead we walked a street
With a new name
Maybe one day I'll let you kiss me
On Cherrier, fuck what they say
Maybe I will let down my guard
And find ecstasy over foul play
December '09 I was running through that square
Just about your crib, stinging crystalline cold air
Driving home the message I'd be adding to my baggage
Already too heavy for love to keep me steady
Now it's the same route past his to your door
So I plead for my misgivings are printed at my core
This whole shit town's a trigger
But bars don't write themselves
Duluth screamed party youth to me
I had dignity to dispel
Pussy could run that block and
The girls I knew were of that stock
Got behind the veil of it
Persona up on an auction block
Maybe one day I'll let you kiss me
On Cherrier, fuck what they say
Maybe I will let down my guard
And find ecstasy over foul play
Maybe one day I'll let you kiss me
On Cherrier, fuck what they say
Maybe I will let down my guard
And find ecstasy over foul play
