Lovers kiss in a garden made of thorns
Traces of lonely words, illusions torn
You said

How does a man like me love a woman like you?
I said

Hold me until I die and I'll make you brand-new

Come on and wrap that blade of grass
Around my finger like a cast
'Cause even though the church burned down
I'll be your queen without a crown
I've been so lonely in this field
Fightin' a battle with no shield
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
I will make it last

This is the lawn of memories I mourn
I fall into your arms, shelter from storm
You said

How does a man like me love a woman like you?
I said

Hold me until I die and I'll make you brand-new

Come on and wrap that blade of grass
Around my finger like a cast
'Cause even though the church burned down
I'll be your queen without a crown
I've been so lonely in this field
Fightin' a battle with no shield
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
I will make it last
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
I will make it last

I'll give you something
Yeah, it's no diamond ring
The air that I'm breathing
Forever's not enough
Oh, so we'll both sing
Yeah, it's not the same thing
Yeah, it's not the same thing
Forever's not enough

Come on and wrap that blade of grass
Around my finger like a cast
'Cause even though the church burned down
I'll be your queen without a crown
I've been so lonely in this field
Fightin' a battle with no shield
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
I will make it last
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
I will make it last
