So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted 'til you'd someone to slap your face
And 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 flying colors, your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Now, please, please, please
Please leave me down

So you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground until 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, please, please
Get up off your knees
Now please, please, please

This love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you're thinking of

September, streets capsizing
Spilling over and down the drains
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain

October, talk getting nowhere
November, December, remember
Are we just starting again?

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees there
Please

This love is big, is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of

It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
It's you my love, I could never believe
