That grain of salt you talk about gets bigger and bigger each day it's making a pearl inside my heart with layers and layers of tears I give you this pearl to save our hearts to keep them from bursting a vein my only hope is that someday soon you'll press your palm to my chest and the warmth of your hand will draw out the stone that wakes me every night I give you this pearl to show my love I've grown it for over a year and if I'm true, then maybe you will take me along with the jewel
