I'm surprised more people haven't been commenting on this song, if only to sing Dessa some praise. She's one of those rare artists that tightropes music and poetry without fall or falter (at the moment I have to think all the way back to the Doors for a fair comparison).
So yeah, primarily just a pair of lyric-checks in this post:
1st verse - instead of "look" the word should be '"built" like a moth...' (this plays much better with the rhymes at the close of this verse, and also helps illustrate how some of an individual's qualities are inherent in their nature)
2nd verse - the final words should be 'the moth "won't let it"' as opposed to "will go"
Things could be a lot simpler if we knew how to choose who to love and who not to love, but were that the case I doubt we'd ever hear songs this beautiful and live moments so magical.
