Coal Makes Diamonds

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I'm a desert, my face is the wind I know where I'm going and I know where I've been You're the horizon and the wide open space And I surround you, caressing your face There's not a limit to the things that I'd do I'd give you stars, but the stars wouldn't do You're like the lava burning buried below An eruption but too early to show [Pre-Chorus] We are islands Hear our sirens And so we wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) [Chorus] 'Cause when the pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait (Wait, down, in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, wait, down) [Verse 2] With the flood comes shift in the soil Our blood runs thicker than oil It's like erosion, cutting straight to the core No human nature ever felt this before And we've become an unbreakable vow I wanna hold you up, higher than love Because it feels like flying out above [Pre-Chorus] We are islands And hear our sirens And so we wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) [Chorus] 'Cause when the pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait (Wait, down, in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, wait, down) [Bridge] (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) (Wait, down, in front of me) (Wait, down, wait, down) [Pre-Chorus] We are islands And hear our sirens And so we wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, put it right in front of me) [Chorus] 'Cause when the pressure heightens Our coal makes diamonds And so we wait (Wait, down, in front of me) We wait (Wait, down, wait, down) Wait, down, in front of me Wait, down, in front of me Wait, down, in front of me Wait, down
