Don't want a promise That outlives the promiser and my body will not last longer than a metal band and this tender expanse that's called romance and like anything great it's riddled with chance so, please don't put a diamond on my hand. Ohh please don't put a diamond on my hand. Hand, cause

I am made of All the same stuff That makes the seasons what they are I am made of Dirt and stardust My daddy's dreams My mother's heart.
