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
