lyrics

I was raised on a canvas
and my corner man was useless
He watched me on the ropes
'til I was black eyed and toothless
I was no contender,
Not as long as I remember
Just a twirling misanthrope
Too stupid to surrender

Kiss me like it matters
Like anything does

Daddy's little brawler
Just a banged up gentleman caller
I learned to take a punch, baby
and I learned not to holler
Rearrange me like a jigsaw
With your haymakers and catclaws
I might wobble, might see saw
But this ain't no glass jaw

So kiss me like it matters
Like anything does

I watched that old sunset
on the ring that I grew up in
I did not mourn its passing
'cause I do not miss the past
Put a match to the memory
and rewrite your beginning
I get nothing from this reverie
I'm never going back

So kiss me like it matters
Like anything does
