  • You hold your truth so purely
    Swerve not through the minds of men
    This lie is dead
    This cup of yours tastes holy
    But a brush with the devil can clear your mind
    Strengthen your spine
    Fingers tap into what you were once
    And I'm worried that I blew my only chance

    Whispers in the dark
    Steal a kiss and you'll break your heart
    Pick up your clothes and curl your toes
    Learn your lesson, lead me home
    Spare my sins for the ark
    I was to slow to depart
    I'm a cad but I'm not that flawed
    I set out to serve the Lord.

    And my heart
    Was colder when you've gone
    And I lost my head
    But found the one that I loved
    Under the sun
    Under the sun

    Fingers tap into what you were once
    And I'm worried that I blew my only chance
    Fingers tap into what you were once
    And I'm worried that I blew my only chance

    And my heart
    Was colder when you've gone
    And I lost my head
    But still, while we are young
    While we are young
    While we are young
    While we are young Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
