Emerging from skin let your light shine in
give the cover of grace and love
Chorus1
You know im only just a man
but ill give my love the best i can

You have got to allways stand your ground
and make the evil one back down

Child innocence born into sin its not your fault

I cant stand the thought of how
you could live without me now
And i would never ever be the same
I can feel the pressure best
In the box your heart lay rest
You dont ever want to think outside

But it feels like I cant live without your love
And its obvious that you dont feel the same
And it feels like you could turn and walk away
And i know that wont be the case... Love
Verse2
I cant read those bright blue eyes
They stare me down and mesmerize
And i fall short in slave to your will
Hear me now please hear me out
If we could get away somehow
And never have to come back to this place
Chorus2
But it feels like I cant live without your love
And its obvious that you dont feel the same
And it feels like you could turn and walk away
And i know that wont be the case...
Can we Reconcile

Smoke the stuff and dont rehearse

Just drop your name into the hat

Shut up shut up make us a soundtrack
