"Big Diamonds" lyrics

"Big Diamonds"

Bent the knee, became a sign of the times
More than a half a dozen couples, man, we're dropping like flies
Snapping photos of diamonds set in the rough
Check your messages, man, we weren't built for this stuff

And toss me (The rope) 'cause my thirties have started sinking
I've come up for air just in time for us to quit drinking
It's a complicated reward, it's good behavior
It's clearer skin and fewer favors

(Ooh, ooh, ah)

Paycheck to paycheck, overworked by design
Let's install some creature comforts and make plans to align
Let's improvise, let's imagine your place or mine
Try to be good to ourselves this time

We can (Ask each other), "Where's today's destination?"
Set the table for all, man, it's no reservations
It's some fresh perspectives making waves on the radio
It's a piece of flint and some steel to make the fire grow

(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh)

If it's for me, then it's for us
And if it's for us, then it's enough
If it's for me, then it's for us
And if it's for us, then it's enough
If it's for me, then it's for us (If we start building now)
And if it's for us, then it's enough
If it's for me, then it's for us (If we start building now)
And if it's for us, then it's enough
I hope we always have a place to go
(I hope we always have a place to go, so let's go)

Paycheck to paycheck, overworked by design
Let's install some creature comforts and make plans to align
Let's organize, let's imagine your place or mine
Try to be good to ourselves this time

(Ooh, ooh, ah)
