lyrics

Every second that you’re calling their name
There’s a love prototypical awaiting its fame
Every moment that your digging your grave
There’s a quintessential moment that is doing the same

Write it off as a setback
Deprecate 'til it’s way down pat
I'll ignore that you killed that
Quintessential moment, quintessential moment

I exist to adore you
Well at least till we see this through
'Cause i know that you want this

Every second that you’re calling their name
There’s a love prototypical awaiting its fame
Every moment that your digging your grave
There’s a quintessential moment that is doing the same

We're as safe as we are sound
May be poor but you rock that crown
And the only way is up when you're this far down

Trying hard not to bore you
And assure that the love reigns true
To respect every value
Moment to moment to moment to moment to

Every second that you’re calling their name
There’s a love prototypical awaiting its fame
Every moment that your digging your grave
There’s a quintessential moment that is doing the same

Every second, every every second
Every second, every every second
Every second, every every second
Every second, every every second

Every second that you’re calling their name
Every second that you’re calling their name

Every moment, every every moment
Every moment, every every moment
Every moment, every every moment
Every moment, every every moment

Every moment that your digging your grave
Every moment that your digging your grave
Every moment that your digging your grave
There’s a quintessential moment that is doing the same

Every second that you’re calling their name
There’s a love prototypical awaiting its fame
Every moment that your digging your grave
There’s a quintessential moment that is doing the same
