Semi Precious

Sure enough, sure enough
Your tummy's buzzing like a wasp's nest
And the hurt comes easy
Heavy cuts, heavy vision, the sun in your veins
The noble contract in your eyes

And breathe out, I've been watching you
And you never breathe out
You're not semi rare, semi precious
Any less than the best of us
You're not semi cool, semi precious
Until it gets too deep, too deep to swim

But you're tangled in your heart strings
You're tied up, tied up, tired of getting involved in this
With another man
A bit of yourself
So breathe out, and just remember to breathe out

Sure enough, sure enough
Each day is better than the last one
And love runs through you
Like a blood, like a cold, the sun in your veins
Just like you promised you could

And breathe out, I've been watching you
And you never breathe out
You're not semi rare, semi precious
Any less than the best of us
You're not semi cool, semi precious
Until it gets too deep, too deep to swim

But you're tangled in your heart strings
You're tied up, tied up, tired of getting involved in this
With another man
A bit of yourself
So breathe out, and just remember to breathe out
Semi gold, semi precious
