Cherries Lyrics
[Verse 1: Hope Tala]
The cherries in your mouth spill stars
Scarlet venom to keep in jam jars
We all build worlds with joined-up scars
But your constellation has stained my guitar
And the French in your mouth breaks ribs
Makes heads go light and hands lose their grip
Pulling teeth behind a bottom lip
To look for cherry stones and rotting apple pips
[Pre-Chorus: Hope Tala]
Sunlight eats your skin, look at the state we're in
Look at the state we're in, look at the state we're in
The glare gets in my eyes, please drink the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
[Chorus: Hope Tala]
Don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
[Verse 2: Aminé]
Mela verde in my cup, tell me what the fuck's for lunch
Is it your pussy or dinner? Both seems like the same to us
Dracula to your neck, I was tryna relieve stress
You look yummy in that dress, I expect nothin' less
Chain keeping swinging in your mouth
Now the chain stained with some cherry lip gloss
Tequila ya tears, so we move state to state
Sippin' on your sorrows as I fuck you by the lake
Look
Turn around and bust it back, one time
Give you this dick and you relapse, two times
Waking up to clothes all over your apartment
Pearls on your neck, Sauvignon on the carpet
Road trips to Nice, but we ain't goin' up to Greece
Baby, I'm the one you call Aminé in the sheets
A lot of text messages that I wanna delete
But to get over the state we in, I just cop you Céline
The cherries in your mouth spill stars
Scarlet venom to keep in jam jars
We all build worlds with joined-up scars
But your constellation has stained my guitar
And the French in your mouth breaks ribs
Makes heads go light and hands lose their grip
Pulling teeth behind a bottom lip
To look for cherry stones and rotting apple pips
[Pre-Chorus: Hope Tala]
Sunlight eats your skin, look at the state we're in
Look at the state we're in, look at the state we're in
The glare gets in my eyes, please drink the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
[Chorus: Hope Tala]
Don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry
[Verse 2: Aminé]
Mela verde in my cup, tell me what the fuck's for lunch
Is it your pussy or dinner? Both seems like the same to us
Dracula to your neck, I was tryna relieve stress
You look yummy in that dress, I expect nothin' less
Chain keeping swinging in your mouth
Now the chain stained with some cherry lip gloss
Tequila ya tears, so we move state to state
Sippin' on your sorrows as I fuck you by the lake
Look
Turn around and bust it back, one time
Give you this dick and you relapse, two times
Waking up to clothes all over your apartment
Pearls on your neck, Sauvignon on the carpet
Road trips to Nice, but we ain't goin' up to Greece
Baby, I'm the one you call Aminé in the sheets
A lot of text messages that I wanna delete
But to get over the state we in, I just cop you Céline
[Pre-Chorus: Hope Tala]
Sunlight eats your skin, look at the state we're in
Look at the state we're in, look at the state we're in
The glare gets in my eyes, please drink the tears I cry
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
[Chorus: Hope Tala]
Don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry

Don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry
But don't leave me here alone
Drink up the tears I cry, drink up the tears I cry

What did Hope Tala & Aminé say about "Cherries"?
Genius Answer
I’ve always been inspired by the Garden of Eden and the story of Adam and Eve. I think of “Cherries” as being a really corporeal song – there’s a lot of lyrical content about how the body portrays feeling and emotion, and when I was writing it I used the symbol of cherries as my focal point to help me understand where these two worlds – material and emotional – collide.
Is there a lyric video of this song?
