How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh Nobody told me all the patience it takes For the sky to open up around me They said love is grabbing blindly at a pit full of snakes And wait to feel the only heel among the rows of all the venomous teeth What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh Our love is older than the great wall Our love spins a gun around its finger Our love has found its way into our mouths before Cut our teeth until we swallow it whole Our love hums low beneath the floorboards Our love grows flowers in the winter Our love has found its way onto our tongues before There is more so take a bite and let it linger What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh
