Had I been wise
Had it been anyone but me
I would have laughed
God, aren't you cute, aren't you right
Had it been coarse
Had it been anyone but you
And that mouth
God, aren't you sweet, aren't you nice

And making it matter is harder than making it clear
And you can't imagine all that I've done just to get myself here
So you go your way and I guess I'll try to find mine
Take one look if you please
'Cause I'm already a threat to your newest disease
Take one look, take it fast

Had it been fists
Had it been anything but words
I would have laughed
There, find a nice spot, dig it right in
Had it been spring
Had it been anything but fall
On your knees
There, show some respect, learn how to hear

And making it matter is harder than making it clear
And you can't imagine all that I've done just to get myself here
So you go your way and I guess I'll try to find mine
Take one look in my eyes
'Cause I'm already a smudge in your beautiful sky
Take one look, take it fast

How does it feel now that you know?
How do you see with your eyes closed?
How do you know?
How do you know that making it matter
And you can't imagine
So you go your way and I guess I'll try to find mine
Take one look when you go
'Cause I'm forever in debt to this deafening blow
Take one look, take it fast
Take one look, make it last
