[Verse 1]
She was a tired high school graduate
With the whole world in her eyes
She kinda felt like she had lost it
And couldn't figure out her price
So inviting was his constant open door
With the old school rap songs playin'
Sendin' hard bass through the floorboards
He was a
Bare-chested brute to some
With an unsettling smile
He was too intense for anyone
But a curious young girl who stayed a while
The way he made his music
The words and the webs he wove
Counting out his rhythms to the sky
While her young blue eyes were closed

[Pre-Chorus]
And oranges and olives
'Cause you knew they were my favorite
And living lilies in the pots
Instead of cut ones in the vases (And oh)

[Chorus]
I wish I kept all the letters I burned
All the emails I deleted
All the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
But with each reincarnation
I make the same mistakes again
Done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that?
You done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that?
Done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Your rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
[Verse 2]
It was a day of insecurity
Clouding over a diamond mind
She vowed she wouldn't break and feel for him
Today she couldn't think of why
Her fortress breaking she let
Another kiss slip by
Too exhausted and content to have
Her ego revitalized
And yet still
The days went on and on
She winced as each one passed
Another genuine good animal
Who had given her far more than she could ask
When her guard slipped too far
Mind turned icy cold
Her eyes were filled with pepper
And her chest began to fold

[Pre-Chorus]
I had a dream that I was caught in a tornado
And I was flying with a smile
'Til it got so strong that my back broke (And oh)

[Chorus]
Wish I kept all the letters I burned
All the emails I deleted
All the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
Reincarnation
Make the same mistakes again
Done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that?
You done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that?
Done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Your rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
Rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
Can't stand devotion from
Your rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause told me
I'd been making this decision now for ages
I would say no
Each lifetime now he wanted me to change it
The same day that I broke him
He had given me a bracelet
And he was holding
Twin in his hands
As he watched me drive away (And oh)

[Chorus]
Wish I kept all the letters I burned
And all the emails I deleted
All the memories I earned
You know
We live the same life each time
Over and over again
But with each reincarnation
I make the same mistakes again
You done things, done things I don't believe in
But who hasn't done that?
Done things, done things I don't believe in
And who hasn't done that?
You done things, done things I don't believe in
It doesn't make you bad
I can't stand all this devotion from
Your rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
Rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
Can't stand devotion from
Your rugged hands, tanned skin
But he's still young
