Please

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 smartest [bad word] 
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 
Please 
Please 
Please 

So you never know 
How low you`d stoop to make that call 
And you never knew 
What was on the ground till they mad you crawl 
And 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 booth of your car 

Please 
Please 
Please 
Get up off your knees 
Please 
Please 
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 
Down the drain 
Shards of glass splinters like rain 
But you could only feel 
Your own pain 
October 
Talking getting nowhere 
November 
December 
Remember 
Are we just starting again 

Please 
Please 
Please 
Get up off your knees 
Please 
Please 
Please 
Please 

So love is big bigger than us 
But love is not what your 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
