"With Open Arms" lyrics

"With Open Arms"

Hurry, hurry, jump aside
I'll change you now, I'll change
Cut the dead down from the mast
Move fast and I'll move strange
Nothin' here's so precious
That it can be bought or sold

What love has offered
No hand can hold
What love has offered
No hand can hold

Take these stones down from my eyes
These shadows from my faith
Take this garbage from my mouth
And throw it in the streets
We speak so quickly
So slow to realize

If love should whisper
Would crack the skies
If love should whisper
Would crack the skies

I don't want no more of it
Of this saccharine [?]
It's suckin' up my oxygen
It's burnin' on my skin
Constantly assaulted
By the gods of fear unbound

Love and love only
It seems now
Love and love only
It seems now

It seems now
