tears of a dove.

How do I undo my calloused heart? I'm at a loss
Lately, I desire to love again, love again
I trek through this life as a vagabond
With no need for embrace or touch of skin. Can it end

Strip me of this disease. A tricky event, it seems
But, I'll find a way

All we need, all we need is someone to calm us, call us, set us free
All we need, all we need is a little compassion and some understanding
When those doves shed tears, I hope you'll still be here
When those doves shed tears, will you still be here

How do I undo my calloused heart? I'm at a loss
Lately, I desire to love again, to love again

I know I've been a bit grimmer
My innermost self isn't pinned to its center
Naturally, I exhibit this bitterness
Knowing you'll think that I hate you and may end up splitting
My temper renders my presence unpleasant
If you were to exit, I'd get it
Constantly making a mess of us
Then saying, "please, let me fix it." I don't wish to wither
Yet it progresses, but can we detain
The rest of the reckless, unsettling pain
Shall we return where those memories lay
I left from my state; New Jersey to West Virginia
But it wasn't Almost Heaven 'til I felt you
Caressing my chest with your face; blessed with your grace
I've been as empty as space
But the light from your eyes, I'll let it pervade

All we need, all we need is someone to calm us, call us, set us free
All we need, all we need is a little compassion and some understanding
When those doves shed tears, I hope you'll still be here
When those doves shed tears, will you still be here

Spent so much time in the mix. I couldn't master
Or keep any track of my time that I need to be fixed
Hope I still push up the limits and dip. Yeah
I used to be so ill-equipped
But, I built a house from the ground with few bricks
I turned life around and I found it's a twist
To be in so love that it feels like a stitch. Yeah
But, I need compassion and love
Happiness fits like a glove
But, I wasn't happy before I had this and it shows
Radically, I was on track to be lonely
You came in my house and you made it a home
Actually, you made me realize that I couldn't
Satisfy myself with being alone
And I was just trapped in a hole. Yeah
You were like a feather from a dove
And you came from up above, now I feel like I can hold it down
And I'm not in a rush, but I want to hurry up
Move along with you and I don't want to slow it down
And I don't need a crutch, but I need a little space
And I hope that you can understand and know the sound
Of me when I erupt when the terror gets the best of me
But you just give me love and the go-around

All we need, all we need is someone to calm us, call us, set us free
All we need, all we need is a little compassion and some understanding
When those doves shed tears, I hope you'll still be here
When those doves shed tears, will you still be here

I know sometimes I'm like a ghost just tryna' look alive
Will you, will you
Will you. will you
