It's a bass, played like an acoustic guitar. And a flute, played on the electric guitar. And a voice. Or two.

Turns out I can't afford this love
this love is bought too dear
i left to face it all too late
by then my chance had disappeared
Turns out that all we had was love
and love is not enough
my living is too thin
my lover cannot bridge the gulf.

Had your fun rewrote your rules
got to see your far flung roads
still all the things you never did
are now the things you'll never know.

I know what it sounds like
that's the idea, right?
you like things dark so
i got me a soft light
do you still think
i'm just hard, girl?
maybe that's a face i put on
for the outside world.

Turns out I'm turned all inside out
my skin feels so raw
heart is beating out my chest
hosannas every breath i draw
Turns out true lovers never lend
turns out I've never been so poor
turns out I'm wealthy until I end
because everything I am is yours.
