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'd almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass the smartest **
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
Please please please please
So you never knew how low you still to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground till 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 new
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your call
Please please please
Get up off your knees please yeah please please
Lead me out of this place
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 talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember we're just starting again
Please please please
Get up off your knees yeah please please please please
So love is big
Is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lovers do
It's what lovers steal
You know I find it hard to receive
'cause you my love I could never believe
