lyrics

Your arrogance prevents you from knowing how great you truly are
And your conceit defeats the subtle magic of your heart

So let the fawning minions come and worship from afar
But God help anyone coming any closer
You’re a genius and you know it and you prove it all the time
So why can’t anyone come any closer?

When you gonna come down and love?
When you gonn stop acting so poor?
When you gonna stop trying to be forgiven?
When you gonna come down and love?

Your bride sits in waiting while you contemplate your moves
Patiently repeating every vow
And the more she understands the more you claim she is your burden
And now you say you want somebody else
I guess everything’s a problem nd every problem roots itself
In this slow earth you were never meant to walk on

When you gonna come down and love?.....

You can make an enemy of freedom
Oh the cost of pretence is steep
Better off to pursue perfection
‘cause it’s everywhere
And it’s cheap

And faith is known to the faithful
And hope is raised by its own hand
You jewel, you gem , you treasure
your light is worth a million days
Love is yours to give
Now just get out of the way
