Plantin' lemon trees since I was twenty-three
Wash away a foot to grow facilitates the bittersweet
No matter what I did
No matter what I did
I was hard headed to the ninth degree
Punch and push away anything I thought would make a mess of me
That's just what I did
That's just what I did

Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
You're all I see in my mind
I think I see a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
Painlessly caught in your eyes
I think I see a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

You made me believe this ain't no make-believe
I'll stop checkin' horoscopes to cope with all my misery
That's just what you did
That's just what you did, yeah

Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
You're all I see in my mind
I think I see a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
Painlessly caught in your eyes
I think I see a lifetime
Done holdin' on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You showed me what it means to fall in deep like no one else (hey)

You're all I see in my mind (in my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holdin' on to myself (to myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (in your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (a lifetime)
Done holdin' on to myself (to myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
