Song lyrics
Don't hold yourself like that 
You'll hurt your knees 
I kissed your mouth and back 
But that's all I need 
Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down 

What I am to you is not real 
What I am to you you do not need 
What I am to you is not what you mean to me 
You give me miles and miles of mountains 
And I'll ask for the sea 

Don't throw yourself like that 
In front of me 
I kissed your mouth your back 
Is that all you need? 
Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down 

What I am to you is not real 
What I am to you you do not need 
What I am to you is not what you mean to me 
You give me miles and miles of mountains 
And I'll ask 

For what I give to you 
Is just what i'm going through 
This is nothing new 
No no just another phase of finding what I really need 
Is what makes me bleed 
Like a new disease she's still too young 

What I am to you (She´s still to young) 
is not real (She´s still to young)
What I am to you (She´s still to young) 
you do not need (She´s still to young)
What I am to you (She´s still to young)
 is not real (She´s still to young)
What I am to you (She´s still to young)

O, so pretty! This was the first song I heard by Damien and definately what turned me onto him. I think I heard him on Letterman, then had to find the CD. Wonderful investment, I must say.

I agree, "you give me miles and miles of mountains and I ask for the sea," is a gorgeous line. And I absolutely love Lisa Hannigan's vocals in this song.

Dramatic yet subdued. Enchanting rhythms.

this is a fantastic song.
with she's too young I think he means that the desease in his mind is still too young to do something about it, he wants some time before he can act and treat his problem.

but maybe he means the blowers daugther, the woman he loved, but is too joung for him (the blowers daugther is the daugter of his musicteacher)

It could be, i dont know in fact.
I just make it from it, because i'm convinced that everyone once will fall in love with somebody who is too joung or stuff... (i did )

This song is just so amazing, i totally agree that if i could write something half as expressive and generally amazing as this i would be so proud.
something about this song just makes me want to cry and im not quite sure what it is, its just so overwhelming, but in a very very good way

"And what I am to you, is not what you mean to me." I don't know why, but that line is what got me hooked on Damien Rice. He's a great talent, and should get more credit here in the states.
