Precious
Iuno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Makes love
Makes happiness
Makes sadness

Your body that glows and your voice in my ear
The sweet of your laughter the salt of your tear
Our window, our music the sounds that I hear, all that
Makes happiness scarier than fear

Your eyes sometimes wonder
Your words come too late
I’m pulling my hair out each second I wait and you know I’m right
You seem to know everything but you don’t know faith

That’s what makes love harder than hate

Nothing to loose is nothing to miss
Bad is good if you know what it is and you know I’m right
The time before or after a kiss





Makes sadness easier than bliss
