It was your palms and your feet and every single thing between
We were an easy thing to do, I enthused over you
But melancholia, insomnia, saudade, they had me
It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time
When every beat in your heart was beating for mine

You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I'm better, you can set me free

It's safe to say you were mine, a songbird to a morning sunrise
And how I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight
Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret
And even after everything, we perished when the sun set

You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I'm better, you can set me free

Every blind spot and every nicety
I learned about your heart, I watched them perish before me
