lyrics

V1:
When we were young sleeping on the side of the road
Arms around your waist
Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits,
never felt so in love
We were too young to know, old enough to care
You made me a ring from some string
and I never really doubted we’d do the real thing

Pre-Chorus:
Tugging at your clothes
My final barrier to you
But we could break through
No we could never break through
Taking turns to wait, no mistakes
Can’t give it all away
While asking is this ok?
When it was never ok

Chorus:
Our bodies embodied what we’d never say
While saying True Love Waits
Somebody tell me how we got away
with saying True Love Waits
It was easier to walk away
Oh it was easier

V2:
When we were young our love was a serious test
If it’s on your mind, do the time
Raise your eyes to the sky and let God do the rest
Unsure, unstable, and covered in prayer
If we closed our eyes real tight
maybe we could forget what we felt in the night

Bridge
True Love Waits as we fade away
Fought the finish line
Faded from the fight
