Meter & Verse Lyrics
I carry my mistakes
And she carries them too
When all I see are bruises black
She shows me the blue
I remember the tears in the morning
The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor
I’ll never know divinity
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
When my ship has run its course
She steers me back out to the sea
She won’t let me run aground
I’ve seen the storms she’s met; I’ve seen the tears in secret shed
She sees me as an eagle though I am just a crow
She sees me as a diamond though I’m just a weathered stone
I’ll never know divinity
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
I stole a glimpse of you in pain
And I’ll take the image to my grave
You look towards the heavens, and I look up to you
I kneel because there are no words, an act will have to do
She believes in God but I believe in...
...no divinity
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
And she carries them too
When all I see are bruises black
She shows me the blue
I remember the tears in the morning
The dread of the veil gently falling to the floor
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
She steers me back out to the sea
She won’t let me run aground
I’ve seen the storms she’s met; I’ve seen the tears in secret shed
She sees me as an eagle though I am just a crow
She sees me as a diamond though I’m just a weathered stone
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her
And I’ll take the image to my grave
You look towards the heavens, and I look up to you
I kneel because there are no words, an act will have to do
...no divinity
So inadequately I write
In meter and verse
She believes in God
But I believe in her

I was thinking this could be about his mom. Or any girl that he looks up to, and keeps him going.
'I carry my mistakes And she carries them too When all I see are bruises black She shows me the blue' This bit makes me think of domestic violence, but I don't think that this song is about this. This bit could also mean that when he makes mistakes he always sees the worst of them, but this girl, be it his mom, or his girlfriend or whoever shows him the 'blue' the kinda 'benefits' of his mistakes.
'I believe in her' He obviously looks up to and admires this person.
'When my ship has run its course She steers me back out to the sea' She keeps him on the right track, and keeps him going.
'She sees me as an eagle though I am just a crow She sees me as a diamond though I�m just a weathered stone ' She always sees the better side of him, she thinks the world of him, like a mom does of their child.
me and my friend harry spoke to young guns in barcelona a couple of weeks ago after their concert there (it was amazing, asdgjeisajdosdioqwdkj), and harry asked gus what meter and verse was about :D he just paused for a second and then said: "... it's about my mum".

I love the idea that it might be about his mum, p0is0ngir1. I think it's likely that it's about a girl that he's in love with though.
