I must have known you in a past life
There's an age-old wisdom in your eyes
Mars and Venus bless me, the stars and planets align
You're like a fish out of water
I wanna be the one that takes you farther
Let the grass soak in your feet and the land will turn you softer
Too scared to let your guard down
Don't wanna lose your mind now
And I said, "This love could be our gospel story
No need for drawn-out allegories
Oh, my love, who told you that you needed saving from yourself?"
The hasty hesitance to leave it all
The sirens before the fiery fall
Circle for six weeks 'round your heart like it's Jericho's walls
In a land full of marauders
All you'd ever be is somebody's daughter
So set yourself free, I will make you my altar
Too scared to let your guard down
Don't wanna lose your life now
And I said, "This love could be our gospel story
No need for drawn-out allegories
Oh, my love, who told you that you needed saving from yourself?"
He says, "I'm a blight on the earth, I'm a waste of oxygen
An apostate on the run 'cause the armor vaporized my skin
What is my life worth when I've got nowhere to go?
They think I did this for fun, but I can't ever return home
I'm a dirty vagabond with a bounty on my head
Why do they tell me they love me when all of their bishops want me dead, dead, dead?"
Look out beyond, see that nothing is perfect
Still, you deserve a peace different from all the stories you've read
The prophets' intentions are malicious
So don't believe a word of their fabricated mythos
I love you for who you are
And you shouldn't have to hide for the comfort of anyone else
