[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
