Please (live From Rotterdam) Lyrics

Please (live From Rotterdam)

(Just stop fighting...please)
(Let's talk)
(Please...)


So you
never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt
wanted
Unil you had someone 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...
Leave it out...


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...
Leave it out...


'Cause love is
big
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
Talk getting
nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting
again


Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees,
now
Please...
Please...


'Cause 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


'Cause you my love
I could never
believe


Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees,
now
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees,
now
Please...
Please...
Please...
