LYRICS

I know enough about love
To break it
I’ve heard enough about love
How to make it
I wrote a song about us
Are we faking
I hope it’s not about us

I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I’d bleed
I’d give it all for love
All of my breathe for love

I want a run-in with love
Take me
I want to know the whole love
I’m aching
I know it’s all about love
No mistaking
Let me and I’ll bring the love

I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I bleed
Now take me down from this tree
Take me down
To my knees
Take me whole
I want to live in the love
I want to share in the love
