about

Mature love.

lyrics

We're born to love, but somewhere down this road of life
We're told to seek a pseudo-love ingenuine,
Short of bricks, missing parts,
When to stop? Where to start?
I thought that love was built on trust and inspiration,
Where did I fail? When did it become validation?
"I need you" not "I love you" reigned supreme,
Now you're through!

I'll never follow rules, won't play the game.
My heart's been torn and severed,
But am I to blame?

Everyone said to me "Just be yourself, man - just because!"
It never clicked because I didn't know who that person was.
Inner strength, was it real? I needed space and time to heal.

I'll never follow rules, can't play the game.
My outlook's worn and jaded and I am to blame.

Junctions of honesty.
Jesus, they frighten me.
But I can no longer hide.

Now that we've met and I feel our thing's getting slightly stronger,
Let's be ourselves `cos I can't wear this mask any longer.
We've been locked, now we're free.
My faith has cracked, so please don't you go on me.

Let's never follow rules, we'll call the game,
So we may stick together and poke at the flame.
Let's never follow rules, we'll call the game,
So we'll stay tall forever and dwarf all the pain.

Junctions of honesty.
Jesus, they frighten me.
But I can no longer hide.
