Your love is sweet and soft
  just look how you use those eyes
  and the way you compromise
  your love is sweet and strong
  it pulls me in with the tide
  and up is down and down is wrong
  go or stay / stay or go
  just be a poet about it
  fall down on your knees
  
  be a poet if that's what you claim to be
  be a poet outside of your sad poetry
  
  your love is neither hot nor cold
  it's that you can't quite name it that makes me feel old
  your love comes apart when it hits the light
  go or stay / stay or go
  just be a poet about it
  fall down on your knees
  
  be a poet if that's what you claim to be
  be a poet outside of your sad poetry
  
  be a poet about it
  yeah - work up a sweat
  do everything you have not done yet
  be a poet outside of your sad poetry
  your love is sweet and it's soft
  i'd kill to believe those eyes
  just look how i compromised
