Sweeter Songtext
von Clover County

Curled up in the kitchen corner
Tears roll down my neck
I swear it′s from the onions
But I'm just scared to death

′Cause I've been burned a time or two
I've been watered down
I′ve been salted way back to the ground

If you shoot me back quickly, baby, I might burn
But if you hide me from the light
You′ll see all my sugars turn
Keep me on your shelf
Save me for yourself
Give me some time, and I'll get sweeter
Sweeter


I thought I′d bake you cookies
But maybe just store-bought
I'd steal my mama′s recipe
But that would say a lot
If you add too much too quickly
It's hard to take it back
So I′ll scoop sugar by the spoonful
And put it right back in the bag

'Cause I've been burned a time or two
I′ve been watered down
I′ve been salted way back to the ground

If you shoot me back quickly, baby, I might burn
But if you hide me from the light
You'll see all my sugars turn
Keep me on your shelf
Save me for yourself
Give me some time, and I′ll get sweeter

And I saw that cast iron skillet
I thought it all was set in stone
My misinterpretation of what love was all along
It's not my head on your pillow
It′s not your lips on my neck
It's not the keys to your house in my hand
Or wakin′ up in the same bed


Did you shoot me back so quickly just to spit me out?
Hide me from the truth 'til the truth came pouring out
You said, "Save it for yourself, go be sweet to someone else"
You got your taste and now your teeth hurt
You got your taste and now your teeth hurt
'Cause all along my love was so much sweeter
Sweeter
