Lyrics
I see you crying and it rains
Washing away the bad days
Washing away the pain loss brings
And then you smile though it aches
Cos you don't believe in mistakes
Just that we made a mess of things
When the deal that you made with love
Is now a one way street, a one way street
You feel you'll go overboard
Cos you're incomplete, incomplete
You're not afraid to rely
On any way you can try
To learn to make some sense of things
And the way you say we'll get by
With a little laugh we can fly
You know the measure of hope that brings
When the deal that you made with love...
I hear you laughing like a child
Instead of choking all riled
Instead of staring at shortcomings
Just like the rain when you cried
Washed out the stains of false pride
You'll learn to make the best of things
Have a little more of not enough
More of what is less but isn't love
Little of the same you're dreaming of
That's enough, that's enough
When the deal that you made with love...
Trivia
- The bridge lyrics seem to foreshadow the fear in Carnival of Rust to "fall where enough is not the same it was before" and then falling to that very temptation in More.
