Please 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 So 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 flyin' 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'd stoop to make that call And you never knew what was on the ground 'til 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 makin' 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 Please, yeah, please, please Leave me out of this please
So love is hard and love is tough But love is not what you're thinkin' of
September, streets capsizin' Spillin' over down the drains Shards of glass splinters like rain You could only feel your own pain
October, talk gettin' nowhere November, December Remember, we just startin' again
Please, please, please Get up off your knee there Please, please, please, please
So love is big, is bigger than us But love is not what you're thinkin' 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
