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

So you never knew how low you’d stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
And 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

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, talking, getting nowhere, November, December, remember
Are we just starting again?
