"Turn You Away" lyrics

Remember how we used to be
So happy, just naturally
Now you don't know me like I know you
This isn't what we had planned
Sticking our heads into the sand
You can't just sit there pretending to be
Unaware

But you've gotta work harder before it's okay
You gotta get higher to make a new day
You gotta be a fighter before I let you stay
So I won't turn you away

You're frozen in our history
When you can make it new for me
You made it colder, my unarmed soldier
No one else can take the blame
Now we don't have to stay the same
The time we spent together, no one can take away

But you've gotta work harder before it's okay
You gotta get higher to make a new day
You gotta be a fighter before I let you stay
So I won't turn you away

Where can we go if we don't grow?
We won't get stronger
And though the river knows, see it flow
I can't wait any longer

But you gotta get higher to make a new day
You gotta get closer before love fades
You gotta get stronger before it's okay
So I won't turn you away (Higher)
Oh (Higher)
Before our love fades
You gotta get stronger
So I won't turn you away
