Diamond

[00:15.68] When I find myself awake
[00:19.38] I'll put my thoughts down on a page
[00:22.70] Half-asleep I'll make a list
[00:26.30] Then read back all my greatest hits:
[00:29.76] - Should meditate
[00:31.53] - Should work out more
[00:33.26] - Should read until my brain gets sore
[00:36.93] - Meet someone
[00:38.65] - Go far away
[00:40.45] - Try being socially less strange
[00:45.33]
[00:47.38] That's how a diamond grows
[00:49.87] You give yourself the right chance over time
[00:54.96] Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
[01:01.57] I cut at least half of my friends
[01:05.16] But no one noticed or mentioned
[01:08.42] I thought at last I'd breathe easy
[01:12.11] But then I've thought a lot of things
[01:15.65] Hey New Year, Hey New You
[01:19.05] You left so much low-hanging fruit
[01:22.68] In the ring
[01:24.45] A title fight
[01:26.19] With only montage training time
[01:30.65]
[01:32.72] That's how a diamond grows
[01:35.68] You give yourself the right chance over time
[01:40.73] Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
[01:47.18] That's how a diamond grows
[01:50.05] You reach as far as you can and hold tight
[01:54.83] Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
[02:01.47] They say a diamond grows with time
[02:05.47] I believe it
[02:09.05] Cause I've seen it with my eyes
[02:14.56] There's a guaranteed parade
[02:17.37] Of broken promises
[02:19.95] If you expect some kind of miracle
[02:23.36] You do what you can do
[02:25.22] That's all (all, all)
[02:30.19] That's how a diamond grows
[02:31.94] You give yourself the right chance over time
[02:36.95] Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
[02:43.74] That's how a diamond grows
[02:46.48] With time
[02:50.93] Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
[02:56.18]
