took her to the greyhound station
but they wouldn't take her fake ID
she said i've been all over creation
and creation's been all over me

if you were a color and i was a sound
we'd be the loudest pretty thing around
to take a lot of pain takes a lot of nerve
you're better than i deserve

looked and you searched your whole life through
when you finally saw it didn't see you
bad choices set fire to the past
like something funny that won't let you laugh

if i was a color and you were a sound
we'd be the loudest pretty thing around
it takes a lot of pain it takes a lot of nerve
you're better than i deserve

what if the grail wasn't holy
what if it wasn't even a grail
words on her skin in red pen
drain every drop of love out of your body by the end

if you were a color and i was a sound
we'd be the loudest pretty thing around
to take a lot of pain takes a lot of nerve
you're better than i deserve
takes a lot of pain takes a lot of nerve
you're better than i deserve
