You were an angel guarding Eden from my efforts
Keeping any questions inside
I was a demon with a fear of fallin'
Wanting answers for everything, never satisfied
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on your couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember when we listened to the first thunder
You put your wing over me for the first time
You caught the interest of a snake who can't help but wonder
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a bunch of my things at your place
You like my questions though you still pretend you don't share 'em
But I can always see the truth in your face
It was the end of days
We had nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember when we listened to the first thunder
You put your wing over me for the first time
You caught the interest of a snake who can't help but wonder
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember eating oysters that Roman summer?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You caught the interest of a snake who can't help but wonder
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
It all came down to that fight
The Horsefolks and Them
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I felt him coming and you picked up the sword you gave away
Braced myself to be threatened
'Cause that's what they'd want from you
But you lowered your weapon
You said, "If you give up we'll be through"
You said, "I remember when the bombs echoed 'round like thunder
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a snake who can't help but wonder
He is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Hold on, we can last
Hold on, never turn back
(Hold on)
You held the interest of a snake who can't help but wonder
(Hold on)
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
(Hold on)
And I believe it
(Hold on)
We're gonna make it now
(Hold on)
And I can see it
(Yes, yes)
I can see it now
