The Hollyfelds — Old Carbon lyrics

Lyrics

An affliction’s what it took to create this
But why it happened how could I know
If I’d seen the future
I’d have wanted you sooner
But some pressure’s for good and now I know
Old carbon, that’s all that I am
Old carbon, that’s all that you are
With pressure and time and some luck there’s a diamond
Where all there was was an old lump of coal
When you met me, you saw the sparkle
The one that I didn’t know showed
So you quietly polished
And loved me through all this
And together now, darlin, we glow
