"You Could Be Love" lyrics

"You Could Be Love"

You could say, "I surrender"
On all fours
To some bright holy light
From above

You could bravely be the first
To spill this vile demon's blood

You could keep all your best reasons
In empty bottles behind locked doors

You could be the contents of 100 tiny plastic bags
Emptied on to dirty kitchen tables

Oh late night
Late night

You could be love

You could be held so warm
In these arms
You could be held aloft
So soft
So strong

You could be invited to invent anew
Our language
Devoid of its current damning
Pain and suffering

You could be darkness
You could be so dark
Forever folding in
Folding in on self
And still you could get along

You could be love

You could be held so warm
In these arms
You could be held aloft

So soft

So strong
