Song lyrics
If it's good to complicate, than both of us are doing fine
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine
If it's good to instigate, than we’re a fast horse, bet on us
I'm not calling you an animal, I think we just fight too much

C'mon, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamons start as coal

We're both aligned in framed of mind but circumstance has got us good
And now you’re seeing a side of me I wished no one ever would
Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we’re fingers in a sugar bowl
Love isn’t perfect, even diamonds start out as coal

C'mon, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal

Even diamonds start as coal
We’re incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal

Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things they burn before they shine
We think way too much 
Look at us losing touch
A promise is a promise until…

Yeah, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal
Give us time to shine
Even diamonds start as coal

Even diamonds start as coal
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal

yet another incubus masterpiece. i was not really a fan of "a crow left of the murder" but this whole album goes back to their roots and pulls out the best of incubus and it's exactly what i love about them. they have some beautifully mellow music with gorgeous head over heels lyrics and then they have their harder stuff and this whole record is in such great order. you start off and it like literally sweeps you away, like a tide. it arches and breaks and goes back in and calms down and then goes back out and then the wave crashes again and goes back in. and it's a beautiful crest of music. i love the way it was done. and this song is one of my favorites on the album.
"love isn't perfect, even diamonds start out as coal"
how much more perfect can you get than that?
love isn't perfect. yes yes yes. so effing true.
even diamonds start out as coal. the hardest rock, and generally constituted as the most precious and beautiful, it started out as coal. coal. the same stuff santa puts in your stocking if you're a bad kid. the stuff you dread turns into the most beautiful thing ever. and that is what love is. it scares you, and you fight with it and eventually it works out. not perfect, because even diamonds are flawed, but beautiful nonetheless.

nice work, boys. from brandon's beautiful voice, to mike's awesome guitars to jose's kick ass drumming. this song, the whole record even, leave nothing to be desired.

a strong song from a fantastic album.......that you can DANCE to.

I don't care if you think they sold out, they are GREAT.

they always change and this alternative record you can DANCE to (in many places).

Move that ass!! :-D

Anyway, the song itself is good. The rhythm is nice but the melody, almost forgettable; not very noticeable. I don't think I'll be humming this like I do with Earth to Bella Pt. I. But I will be dancing to it "forever".....

The instruments are nice though. And the lyrics; playful.

he screams a LOT though. and he doesn't miss notes but you predict he just might.

BTW, Punchdrunk should have made the U.S. cut...
