Lyrics

Lifetime

the rain cried me down to my knees, babe
your tears felled me flat on the ground
the pain in your heart like a wager to my leavin?
can I lay my needs and wants down?
my friends say to face you and leave you
my shrink says I can?t hold my own
but what?s inside love if it?s all about receivin?
and the seeds of my patience ain?t sown?

chorus:
I could wait a lifetime for you
I could give my whole heart
and never be through with you
and never be through with you
?been leaving things all of my life, babe
taking that stance left and right
but just ?cause it?s painful and you?re in your confusion
does not make this hard line alright
so where is my call to forgiveness?
where is my offering up?
to give up that talk about what you do or don?t do,
and love you no matter what

chorus
