Lyrics

Precious and Preoccupied



Hey wasn?t it you I saw slipping under the wire?
you, who could manage a smile with your hair on fire.
I thought it was something to be admired.

But you?re too precious and preoccupied
you?re too precious and preoccupied
for me.

Hey of all this resentment I know a thing or two.
Yeah they see your fortune as fortunate for you.
But I see your Father?s hand in everything you do.

But you?re too precious and preoccupied
you?re too precious and preoccupied
for me.

You were hoping for something better,
something better than this
there must be something
something better
something better than this

now we?re both on our backs just slipping under the wire
and we?re missing the sacred things that we?ve set on fire
till we come to resemble what we most admired.

We?re all too precious and preoccupied
too precious and preoccupied.
