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 smarted 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...
...So you never knew how low you'd stoop 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 news, your holy war, your northern star,
your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
Please... get up off your knees, 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 and down the drain
shards of glass splinters like rain but you could on feel your own pain
October talking getting nowhere, November, December, remember we just starting again...
Please... get up off your knees and please...
...So love is big bigger than us but love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lover deal it's what lovers steal you know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you my love I could never believe...
