Paradise Fears - Same love lyrics

When I was in the 3rd grade I thought that I was gay Cause I could draw, my uncle was And I kept my room straight I told my mom, tears rushing down my face She's like, "Sammy you've loved girls since before pre-K" Yeah, cause she had a point, didn't she A bunch of stereotypes all in my head I remember doing the math like "Yeah, I'm good at little league" A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant For those who like the same s** had the characteristics The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision And you can be cured with some treatment and religion Man-made, rewiring of a predisposition playing God Ah nah, here we go America the brave still fears what we don't know And God loves all His children is somehow forgotten Let me paraphrase a book written 35 hundred years ago I don't know And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm [x4] Ask yourself, what kind of person do you wanna be And how many commandments are gonna rule how you think And do we really mean it, when we say He loves us all? And do we really believe it when they say that we're created equal? Of course I do, I'm not a racist or an a**hole Yet we can treat them less if their love is h*mos**ual? Well rules are rules and the bible's pretty clear here Yeah we know, we get it, but we don't live by procedure We decide what's right by what's right, not what's written We evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions We don't exclude people based on footnotes of exodus Like my friend Haley who loves both of her dads You want to tell her their love is different? You want to make that distinction? You want to tell her that this beautiful and limitless Thing that we call love Has rules and a proper way to do it And their love is less love because an old book don't approve it? I guess here's how I see it You got a heartbeat like mine Probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine Well mi love es su love, same heart, same love About time that we raised up same s** Love is patient Love is kind Love is patient Love is kind And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm [x4] Press play, don't press pause Progress, march on! With a veil over our eyes We turn our backs to the cause Till the day my uncles can be united by law Kids are walkin' around the hallway Plagued by pain in their heart, a world so hateful Someone would rather die than be who they are And a certificate on paper isn't gonna change it all But it's a damn good place to start So it's time that we stand without a doubt or concession Rather than sitting here gridlocked in oppression We all raise our voices, til they're too loud to ignore Singing songs of acceptance Thank you, Macklemore And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to My love, my love, my love She keeps me warm [x4] (Not cryin' on Sundays) Love is patient, love is kind (Not cryin' on Sundays) Love is patient, love is kind (Not cryin' on Sundays) Love is patient, love is kind Love is patient, love is kind
