[Verse 1]
You come alive, you come alive
You come alive like a soul-street soldier
You try to find, you try to find
To find a line but you cross it over
Hold this close
Don't let go
You try to hide, you try to hide
Before tonight can we just get closer
[Chorus]
You can take this hard
Or you can dial it down there
You can play these cards
Or you can deal them right back
But why do we make this hard
When it doesn't have to be
You can climb these steps
Or you can see where they go
You can find what's next
Or someday maybe you'll know
That we can have nothing left
But as long as you're next to me
I believe
I believe
[Verse 2]
You run away, you run away
You run away from the paranoia
But if you stay, but if you stay
But you erase all the words I told ya
[Chorus]
You can take this hard
Or you can dial it down there
You can play these cards
Or you can deal them right back
But why do we make this hard
When it doesn't have to be
You can climb these steps
Or you can see where they go
You can find what's next
Or someday maybe you'll know
That we can have nothing left
But as long as you're next to me
I believe
I believe
You can take this hard
Or you can dial it down there
You can play these cards
Or you can deal them right back
But why do we make this hard
When it doesn't have to be
You can climb these steps
Or you can see where they go
You can find what's next
Or someday maybe you'll know
That we can have nothing left
But as long as you're next to me
I believe
I believe
[Outro]
But as long as you're next to me
I believe
I believe
You can take this hard
Or you can dial it down there
You can play these cards
Or you can deal them right back
But we can have nothing left
But as long as you're next to me
I believe
I believe
