Diamonds and Coal Songtext
von Incubus

If it′s good to complicate, then both of us are doing fine
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine
If it's good to instigate, we′re a fast horse, bet on us
I'm not calling you an animal; I think we just fight too much

Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal

We′re both aligned in frame of mind but circumstance′s got us good
And now you're seeing a side of me I wished no one ever would
Yeah, if it′s right to pick a fight, we're fingers in a sugar bowl
Love isn′t perfect, even diamonds start out as coal


In spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
Even diamonds start as coal
Yeah, we′re incomplete and infantile
Even diamonds start as coal

Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things, they burn before they shine
We think way too much (We think way too much)
Look at us losing touch! (Now we're losing touch)
A promise is a promise until

Yeah, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal
Even diamonds start as coal
Yeah, we′re incomplete and infantile
Even diamonds start as coal
