You hold your truth so purely Swerve not through the minds of men This lie is dead This cup of yours tastes holy But a brush with the devil can clear your mind Strengthen your spine Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance Whispers in the dark Steal a kiss and you'll break your heart Pick up your clothes and curl your toes Learn your lesson, lead me home Spare my sins for the ark I was to slow to depart I'm a cad but I'm not that flawed I set out to serve the Lord. And my heart Was colder when you've gone And I lost my head But found the one that I loved Under the sun Under the sun Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance And my heart Was colder when you've gone And I lost my head But still, while we are young While we are young While we are young While we are young
