I’ve always felt so scared of all this needing
Everyone that I’ve met has been somewhat mistreated
That’s how it feels when you know that something’s wrong.
Then you came along like a swan off of the lake
You flew across my eyes and out into space,
And I ran and I crawled and I chased to get a taste.
That’s what I did… (Whoa!)
If there’s just one thing you got to remember;
Is to write down your name and your phone number
That way I’ll have it and we’ll make something out of this mess, Oh!
And if all else fails then the ship won’t set sail.
God forbid but I guess the both of us will bail
But as far as I can tell I think things will be swell.
Have you seen me cry tears like diamonds
Down and down they fly,
Faster and faster like the speed of our love
Batting a thousand,
but a homerun crack at love
This is where I tell you that,
I know love's what I need to work at
So now the two of us rely on each other
With our premonitions out in the gutter
Who would have thought that I’d make it this far
I’ll make it seem like I’m stronger but I’m quite the actor
And now I’m so caught up and I can’t escape this pattern
But when I started losing hope, there you were, there you bloomed
Have you seen me cry tears like diamonds
Down and down they fly, faster and faster like the speed of our love
Batting a thousand, but a homerun crack at love
This is where I tell you that, I know love's what I need to work at
(Whoa!)
Diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy boom boom!
Diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy boom boom!
Diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy boom boom!
Diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy boom boom!
Have you seen me cry tears like diamonds
Down and down they fly, faster and faster like the speed of our love
Batting a thousand, but a homerun crack at love
This is where I tell you that, I know love's what I need to work at, oh
What I need to work at, oh
For someone else's poetry, this hits us fairly square on the head. And I love her for seeing that. Oh, all "diggy diggy's" and booms aside, of course. :)

From me to you, on the night we met. We hadn't heard this poetry yet but we said it to each other all night long and again a week later. There's one thing you've got to remembe; it's to write down your name and your phone number legibly. This is where I tell you that you've made me better at love.
