So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away
You had to win, you couldn t just pass
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Your flying colours, your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please
Please
Please
get up off your knees now
Please
Please
Please, leave it out
* Play beginning riff: *
And you never knew how low you d stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Until you made them 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 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

Shards of glass splinters like rain

Are we just starting again?
Please, please, please get up off of your knees now
Please, please, please, get up off your knees
cause love is big, it s 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
