lyrics
You tell me, from the beginning
Drop the middle, kill the ending
Choose your own adventure, but don’t turn the page
Hold your tongue, and keep your questions
Repeat the words, just change inflection
Keep it hid, play along, cos that’s the way
This is only a test
To follow, blinded and ageless
You see the signs
“Beware, church is in”
Tell it all, but keep me guessing
Misappropriate the lessons
Still you say ‘it’s all good’
So I guess that’s OK?
I could never think of you as someone that would hear
All the words and not believe the meaning’s disappeared
And I could never think of you as someone that would see
Everything and not think that we should be going clear
Could you ever think of me as someone to retreat?
Dance around it, leave it there, clear out, undo belief
When all is said and done, we’re just some bodies who can say
Love will conquer all
Drop the middle, kill the ending
Choose your own adventure, but don’t turn the page
Hold your tongue, and keep your questions
Repeat the words, just change inflection
Keep it hid, play along, cos that’s the way
This is only a test
To follow, blinded and ageless
You see the signs
“Beware, church is in”
Tell it all, but keep me guessing
Misappropriate the lessons
Still you say ‘it’s all good’
So I guess that’s OK?
I could never think of you as someone that would hear
All the words and not believe the meaning’s disappeared
And I could never think of you as someone that would see
Everything and not think that we should be going clear
Could you ever think of me as someone to retreat?
Dance around it, leave it there, clear out, undo belief
When all is said and done, we’re just some bodies who can say
Love will conquer all
