Planted lemon trees since I was twenty-three
Watching, waiting for 'em to grow but still it tasted bittersweet
No matter what I did
No matter what I did
I was hard-headed to the ninth degree
Punch and push away anything I thought would make a mess of me
That's just what I did
That's just what I did
Make me die, make me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
You're all I see in my mind
I think I see a lifetime
Done holding on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes
I think I see a lifetime
Done holding on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
You make me believe this ain't no make-believe
I stop checking horoscopes to cope with all my misery
That's just what you did
That's just what you did, yeah
Make me die, make me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
You're all I see in my mind
I think I see a lifetime
Done holding on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (in your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (to myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Make me die, make me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You showed me what it means to fall in deep like no one else
You're all I see in my mind (in my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (to myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (in your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (to myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
