Diamond

When I find myself awake

I'll put my thoughts down on a page

Half-asleep I'll make a list

Then read back all my greatest hits

Should meditate

Should work out more

Should read until my brain gets sore

Meet someone

Go far away

Try being socially less strange

That's how a diamond grows

You give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker

I cut at least half of my friends

But no one noticed or mentioned

I thought at last I'd breathe easy

But then I've thought a lot of things

Hey New Year, Hey New You

You left so much low-hanging fruit

In the ring

A title fight

With only montage training time

That's how a diamond grows

You give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker

That's how a diamond grows

You reach as far as you can and hold tight

Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different

They say a diamond grows with time

I believe it

Cause I've seen it with my eyes

There's a guaranteed parade

Of broken promises

If you expect some kind of miracle

You do what you can do

That's all (all, all)

That's how a diamond grows

You give yourself the right chance over time

Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker

That's how a diamond grows

With time

Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
