lyrics

You're so meticulous - & I'm fashion challenged.
You look like diamonds - and I smell like smoke.
You're wearing linen - & I'm wearing thin.
You're eyes cut through me - I'm just a joke

When you part the ocean - I fall on the shipwrecks
You laugh out loud - when you see me cry.
But I'll rise above it - with lungs full of water
I'll swim to the surface - for one more try.

Now you didn't know me. - You didn't love me.
I'm such a demon. - Destroying your mind.
OH, you're so above it. - It's all so futile
whoever said that - true love is blind.

Oh - carry me up to - the places that we knew
before I was tired - before it was through
when you were meticulous - and I was a demon
and you saw potential - and I saw it too.
