Wrapped inside you like a diamond 

waiting for the dark to burn away 

counting on your heartbeat's constant rhythm 

to carry me back to myself 

all of my thoughts, like junkyard dogs, guarding scraps of nothing 

filling my head with senseless things that keep me from you 

but I found the remedy 

I found the cure for Everything 

take me into your hands 

help me love a world that I don't understand 

lying in the grass I listened 

underneath a black sky soaked in stars 

til I heard the sound of my heart spinning 

all my panic into love 

out of the fire of false desire 

beat up but I'm breathing 

trying to stay wide awake 

while all the world's asleep 

chorus 

and you're taught to want 

all of life's shiny trinkets 

and you're hoping that they will save you 

but when it's all over 

none of these things will matter 

and you'll ask yourself "did I love?" 

chorus
