Cursive - Sierra Lyrics
In the desert, where the cities are made of gold,
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails.
And her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,
"Come on, baby! Your bath is ready! It's almost time for sleep!"
And I wonder who's the father...
Does her mother smoke, or does she jog every morning?
Does she drink when she thinks about me?
Or doesn't she need to drink... does she have a man who works a nine to five?
Does he come home to kiss our young Sierra, tuck her in and say goodnight?
(And an extra kiss for mama...)
I want that kiss, that kid, that apartment.
I'm ready to settle down now, so get that man out of my bed.
I want my daughter back now, I want to kiss her,
Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, Sierra,
I'll never know who you are, and I don't deserve to.
My little girl, we would've been so... oh, nevermind.
But I'm ready to settle down now - yeah, I'm ready to leave that wrecking ball behind.
I could be your carpenter, and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky.

CURSIVE ARMY WE STAN!!❤️💜❤️💜🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
2019/2020?
I am Sierra. My name is Sierra. My father wasn't able to settle down and get married so they broke up and I was left with my mother. By now I've met my father. I still love him...
*Deadass, does anybody else still fuck with this?*
Still underrated like this dikkk
Still think Cursive is lowkey underrated
This band has made some of the most heart crushing shit I've ever listened too.
And that's saying a lot.
I saw Cursive live in Seattle, probably 2007, maybe 08, and they took a request at the end of the set and the crowd was silent, except one dude yelled "Sierra!" Tim's voice cracked when he said "fine..."
Holy shit.
thumbs up if this song makes you sad ten years later
My name is mud.
Dude you can hear the heartbreak in his voice, this song is brutal.
Gryff Agreed:(
i was 17 when i had my daughter and 18 when i gave up custody to her dads mom and i heard this song and wished how i could be there with her but know she deserved the best life
my name is Sierra
+Siendell me too
Siendell...me too.
Ugh.. Made me cry
poor guy, a child is a heavy regret. I'm sure this song has helped him love his suffering.
oh my..
My feelings about Cursive change like the weather, but I will always love this song.
My name is Sierra too!
This song is amazing!!!
My name's Sierra, and basically the story that this song depicts for the little girl is my life, and childhood. Fuck, I should've listened to my cousin and not have listened to this song.
Cursive at black cat was epic...first show ive been to in like 5 years... last was the Lifetime reunion show...
There is a girl in my school whose name is Sierra but when the say "Tuck her in" it sound like "Young Sierra Tucker" that is the name of the girl
I'm Sierra and my life can be described in this song! If this song isn't played at my funeral I swear to God-
your comment accurately describes my ex-wife.
@AmigoJustino flip it son

@SierraJ141 I'm just joshing you kiddo. I don't think you suck... well that much anyway.
@youtubrgirl12345

Hi Sierra! I'm Sierra! Nice to meet you! My mom showed me this song and it perfectly sums up me and my father's life...
I have a cousin named Sierra, I should get her to listen to this...all in all, i agree with the sentiment
@MomentumFreerunners if I had a penis, I'm sure I'd get one too haha
@punkkify2 it gives me a boner

If someone ever took my kid from me i would kill them in cold blood. My life would be over without her.
@krilin31 Matters what time of day it is. Usually before he comes home.
@youtubrgirl12345 does she drink when she thinks about me? or doesn't she even drink?
@krilin31 She's doing fine.
@youtubrgirl12345 hows your bitch of a mom?
The Ugly Organ, One of the few albums I can play from start to finish without skipping a song...<3
This album makes me want to cry and rage all at the same time.
Oh my God. My name's Sierra. How did I not know this existed?
