Your love is sweet and soft

Look how you use those eyes

And the way you compromise

Your love is sweet and strong

It pulls me in with the tide

And up is down and down is wrong

Go or stay, stay or go


Just be a poet about it

Fall down on your knees

Be a poet if that's what you claim to be

Be a poet outside of your sad poetry


Your love is neither hot nor cold

It's that you can't quite name it that makes me feel old

Your love comes apart when it hits the light

Go or stay / stay or go


Just be a poet about it

Fall down on your knees

Be a poet if that's what you claim to be

Be a poet outside of your sad poetry

Be a poet about it

Yeah, work up a sweat

Do everything you have not done yet

Be a poet outside of your sad poetry


Your love is sweet and it's soft

I'd kill to believe those eyes

Just look how I compromised
