Lions Lyrics
If the sky goes gray and water falls
If i get washed away when the tide goes
If breath becomes a task and punishment
I remember all the things I understand
You had it all, all
If i could spark like a fire, but be as common as matches
And I would rule like a lion and just go off like a cannon
I could kill like a tiger, and push away all the feeling
But I will run like a coward, go away with the seasons
If I could shine like a diamond, but live alone on the streets
I'd be my best as a lover, and be as cool as a thief could be
You had it all, all
If the sky becomes all smoke and fire burns
Before my lungs give up, I take it in
Breath becomes like tax and punishment
I tried to say the things worth holding in
You had it all, all
If i could spark like a fire, but be as common as matches
And I would rule like a lion and just go off like a cannon
I could kill like a tiger, and push away all the feeling
But I will run like a coward, go away with the seasons
If I could shine like a diamond, but live alone on the streets
I'd be my best as a lover, and be as cool as a thief can be
You had it all, all along
You had it all, all
You had it all, all
You had to come from somewhere to be here
If i get washed away when the tide goes
If breath becomes a task and punishment
I remember all the things I understand
If i could spark like a fire, but be as common as matches
And I would rule like a lion and just go off like a cannon
I could kill like a tiger, and push away all the feeling
But I will run like a coward, go away with the seasons
If I could shine like a diamond, but live alone on the streets
I'd be my best as a lover, and be as cool as a thief could be
You had it all, all
Before my lungs give up, I take it in
Breath becomes like tax and punishment
I tried to say the things worth holding in
If i could spark like a fire, but be as common as matches
And I would rule like a lion and just go off like a cannon
I could kill like a tiger, and push away all the feeling
But I will run like a coward, go away with the seasons
If I could shine like a diamond, but live alone on the streets
I'd be my best as a lover, and be as cool as a thief can be
You had it all, all along
You had it all, all
You had it all, all

I think it's "as common as matches" and "as cool as a thief could be" and "you had to come from somewhere to be here, now I'm back on this gold" That's what it sounds like to me.
This is my favorite song off the new ep, so much strength in his singing.
