     'til we can say
     
     
     in a moment we lost our minds here
     and dreamt the world was round
     a million mile fall from grace
     thank god we missed the ground
     
     
     run to the water

     You seem to sin so well

     It seems to hurt my eyes
     You seem to sin so well
