Song Lyrics:
So you never knew love… until you crossed the line of
grace
And you never felt wanted… ‘til you’d 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 down the drains
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, it’s 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
