Cover art for I Thought You Were God lyrics by Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set

its so beautiful. the music makes it much sadder, too to me its about two young lovers, and i think he was in another relationship ("...is peeling back HER sheets...") an affair? either way she is head over heels for him, but grows up and sees there needs to be more. he hasn't done that growing-up yet, and still cries over it ("...speckled with your tears..")
