So you never knew love
|
Until you'd crossed the line of grace
|
And you never felt wanted
|
'Til you had someone slap your face
|
And you never felt alive
|
Until you'd almost wasted away
|
|
|
You had to win
|
You couldn't just pass
|
The smartest ass
|
At the top of the class
|
Your flying colors
|
Your family tree
|
And all your lessons in history
|
|
|
Please...please...please...
|
Get up off your knees, now
|
Please...please...please...
|
Leave it out...
|
|
|
So you never knew
|
How low you'd stoop to make that call
|
And you never knew
|
What was on the ground until they made you crawl
|
So you never knew
|
That the heaven you keep, you stole
|
|
|
Your Catholic blues
|
Your convent shoes
|
Your stick-on tattoos
|
Now they're making the news
|
Your holy war
|
Your northern star
|
Your sermon on the mount
|
From the boot of your car
|
|
|
Please...please...please...
|
Get up off your knees, now
|
Please...please...please...
|
Leave it out
|
|
|
'Cause love is big
|
And love is tough
|
But love is not
|
What you're thinking of
|
|
|
September
|
Streets capsizing
|
Spilling over
|
And down the drain
|
Shards of glass
|
Splinters like rain
|
But you could only feel
|
Your own pain
|
|
|
October
|
Talk getting nowhere
|
November
|
December
|
Remember
|
Are we just starting again
|
|
|
Please...please...please...
|
Get up off your knees, now
|
Please...
|
|
|
'Cause love is big
|
Is bigger than us
|
But love is not
|
What you're thinking of
|
|
|
It's what lovers deal
|
It's what lovers steal
|
You know I've found it hard to receive
|
|
|
'Cause you my love
|
I could never believe
|
