Desperate to say that it is when it isn't Lost in the ocean of your optimism The sea of denial You are an island You know if I could, I would swim out that far Carry you home to who you really are Relight your fire, but I can't Mining for diamonds, you...

[Verse 1] You have this, funny way of making The darkness, in a situation Take flight, and feel right You have this, brilliant way of showing Your kindness, and you don't even know It's so bright, a gold mine [Pre-Chorus] How do you do what you do? [Chorus]...
