She was a tired high school graduate with the whole world in her eyes
She kinda felt like she had lost it and couldn't figure out her price
So inviting was his constant open door
With the old school rap songs playing
Sending hard ba** through the floorboards
He was a
Bare-chested brute to some
With an unsettling smile
He was too intense for anyone
But a curious young girl who stayed a while
The way he made his music
The words and webs he wove
Counting out his rhythms to the sky
While her young blue eyes were closed
Oranges and olives
'Cause you knew they were my favourite
Living lillies in a pot instead of
Cut ones in the vases
I wish I kept all the letters I burned
All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Rugged hands, tanned skin
But you're still young
It was a day of insecurity
Clouding over a diamond mind
She vowed she wouldn't break and feel for him
Today she couldn't think of why
Her fortress breaking she let
Another kiss slip by
To exhausted and content to have
Her ego revitalized
And yet still
The days went on and on
She winced as each one pa**ed
Another genuine good animal
Who had given her far more than she could ask
And when her guard slipped too far
Her mind turned icy cold
Her eyes were filled with pepper
And her chest began to fold
I had a dream that I was caught in a tornado
I was flying with a smile 'til it got so strong that my back broke
I wish I kept all the letters I burned
All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Rugged hands, tanned skin
But you're still young
He told me I'd been making this decision now for ages
I would say no, each lifetime now he wanted me to change it
The same day that I broke him he had given me a bracelet
He was holding the twin in his hands as he watched me drive away and
I wish I kept all the letters I burned
All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that
You've done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Rugged hands, tanned skin
But you're still young
