Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And in the eaves, the Corvidae
Did jealous keep my picture frames
And everything did oxidate in place.
With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I'd been before
Like limbs in procession,
Like so many birds
Stampeding like oxen,
Our hearts are a herd
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding out?
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best.
- A guy with dark brown hair, brown eyes, stubble, tall, physically fit, plain white t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black leather jacket, red converses.
- A girl with long, brown hair, green eyes, chiffon flowery dress down to her knees, daisy chain in her hair, gladiator sandals and a denim jacket with no sleeves (so sort of a casual waist coat).
- The guy in a field with the girl running away from him to go with the first bit of the chorus (4th verse).
- Black and white flashback of the guy and the girl on a roof top, at night, looking out across the landscape at all the lights, alongside the 5th chorus.
- The guy driving, along a country road with the sun shining down, on his own singing the 2nd verse.
- A shot on top of a hill in the countryside, the guy alone singing along to the very first verse.
- The guy running through crowds of people and he keeps seeing her face but when he takes a double take at the girls he thought were his girl, it's not her, to go with the 3rd verse.
- Back to the field in the last verse, however for the last few seconds of the video she's nowhere to be seen anywhere in the field as he looks round confused.
