When I throw a match into your fireworks world
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about
ย
When I drop a fly into your bowl of guacamole
To learn that everything you know
Is just another story
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as the sea
Steadfast like a forest
Makin' it count with me
ย
I can still make you sad
I guess that's a good thing
But my love comes apart
Whenever you're missing
And I'll move back towards you
One beat at a time
Heartbreak again
Your hand in mine
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as the sea
Steadfast like a forest
Makin' it count with me
ย
When I throw a rock through your childhood window
To get your attention
Beneath the flannel and the pillars
I'll let you know you're a luminous feel
Scorching the heavens, screaming out to me
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as the sea
Steadfast like a forest
Makin' it count with me
Winners like a mountain
Absorb it as the sea
Steadfast like a forest
Makin' it count with me
ย
When that throw a match into your fireworks world
To learn what man regards as evil
God could care less about
