lyrics

Coming into being, as we fall away
we're spellbound in this sleeping world
but starting to awake

It should seem so simple, but the truth's a braided stream
and we get crowded in our clothes
and we don't know where to lean

If I've been senseless, if I've been unkind
opaque and elusive, or to loosely defined
I ask for your pardon, but not for release
If you offer forgiveness, I'll offer belief
say you'll accept me; I say take your time
they say love is reckless
they say love is blind

I saw you at that party
I was standing by the door
yearning to know you
and now I yearn to know you more

If I've been senseless, if I've been unkind
opaque and elusive, or to loosely defined
I ask for your pardon, but not for release
If you offer forgiveness, I'll offer belief
say you'll accept me; I say take your time
they say love is reckless
they say love is blind

The world has gone to madness and I can't make it on my own
staring down that hallway, I don't know which way to go

If I've been senseless, if I've been unkind
opaque and elusive, or to loosely defined
I ask for your pardon, but not for release
If you offer forgiveness, I'll offer belief
say you'll accept me; I say take your time
they say love is reckless
they say love is blind
they say love is reckless
they say love is blind
please say love is reckless
please say love is blind
please say love is reckless
please say love is blind

Coming into being, as we fall away
we're spellbound in this sleeping world
but starting to awake
