[Verse 1: Helen Marnie]
Distance versus time
Cutting verses down to size
Focus versus tears
Versus how-did-I-get-heres
Versus curses in your eyes

[Verse 2: Helen Marnie & Daniel Hunt]
Force of nature versus range
Nature versus odd or strange
"There's a fire starting here"
Versus "there's nothing to fear"
Versus lonely versus safe

[Chorus: Helen Marnie & Daniel Hunt]
Like a kitten versus rain
A cathedral versus love versus shame
Free versus out to sea
"Versus" versus "vs."
Me versus me

[Verse 1: Daniel Hunt]
Distance versus time
Cutting verses down to size
Focus versus tears
Versus how-did-I-get-heres
Versus curses in your eyes
[Verse 2: Daniel Hunt & Both]
Force of nature versus range
Nature versus odd or strange
"There's a fire starting here"
Versus "there's nothing to fear"
Versus lonely versus safe

[Chorus: Helen Marnie & Daniel Hunt]
Like a kitten versus rain
A cathedral versus love versus shame
Free versus out to sea
"Versus" versus "vs."
Me versus me

[Chorus: Helen Marnie & Daniel Hunt]
Like a kitten versus rain
A cathedral versus love versus shame
Free versus out to sea
"Versus" versus "Vs."
Me versus me
