Hung up over dead lovers
You and I will never learn
You have ruined every song for me
but not quite love, I still want it.
You could be sitting right across me
It'd still be you I'll have to miss
Wish that you have never said those things
'bout how in times of war, I'm like your peace
I'm like your peace
Am I your peace
Am I your peace
And love, it elevates
But in love, we eat ourselves away
We push and we pull till there's nothing left to lose except names
And love it takes faith; it's our downfall, it's our grace
It can't be tamed
though I've looked the other way.
All these bones don't feel my own
You've stacked them up to watch me fall
But I'd get up, arrange them
I swear I'd look just the same
I'd take another hit
And love, it elevates
But in love, we eat ourselves away
We push and we pull till there's nothing left to lose except names
And love it takes faith; it's our downfall, it's our grace
It can't be tamed
though I've looked the other way.
(Interlude)
And love, it elevates
But in love, we eat ourselves away
We push and we pull till there's nothing left to lose except names
And love it takes faith; it's our downfall, it's our grace
It can't be tamed
though I've looked the other way.
