So you never knew love

Until you crossed the line of grace

And you never felt wanted

Till you had someone slap your face

So you never felt alive

Until you almost wasted away

You had to win

You couldn't just pass

The smartest ass

At the top of the class

Your flying colours

Your family tree

And all your lessons in history



Please

Please

Please

Get up off your knees

Please

Please

Please



So you never know

How low you'd stoop to make that call

And you never knew

What was on the ground till they mad you crawl

And 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 booth of your car



Please

Please

Please

Get up off your knees

Please

Please

Please

Leave me out of this



So love is hard and love is tough

But love is not what you're thinking of



September

Streets capsizing

Spilling over

Down the drain

Shards of glass splinters like rain

But you could only feel

Your own pain

October

Talking getting nowhere

November

December

Remember

Are we just starting again



Please

Please

Please

Get up off your knees

Please

Please

Please

Please



So love is big bigger than us

But love is not what your 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
