Meter & Verse (live acoustic session) - Young Guns

I carry my mistakes

And she carries them too

When all I see are bruises black

She shows me the blue

I remember the tears in the morning

The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor

I'll never know divinity

So inadequately I carve

In meter and verse

She believes in God

But I believe in her

When my ship has run it's course

She steers me back out to the sea

She won't let me run aground

I've seen the storms she's met,

I've seen the tears in secret shed

She sees me as an eagle

Though I am just a crow

She sees me as a diamond

And though I'm just a weathered stone

I'll never know divinity,

So inadequately I carve

In meter and verse

She believes in God,

But I believe in her

(Meter and verse)

I stole a glimpse of you in pain

And I'll take the image to my grave

You look towards the heavens,

And I look up to you

I kneel because there are no words,

An act will have to do

She believes in God

But I believe in

no divinity

So inadequately I carve

In meter and verse

She believes in God,

But I believe in her
