State of Grace lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know, is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

[Chorus]

And I never saw you coming

And I’ll never be the same

[Verse 2]

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannon ball

Now all we know, is don’t let go

We are alone, just you and me

Up in your room and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

So you were never a saint

And I've loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

[Chorus]

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I’ll never (never) be the same

[Bridge]

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You’re my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good

And right and real

[Breakdown]

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I’ll never (never) be the same

[Chorus]

And I never (never) saw you coming

And I’ll never

(So you were never a saint

And I've loved in shades of wrong)

Be the same

(We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild)

[Outro]

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right
