Call It a Loan
In the morning when I closed my eyes
You were sleeping in paradise
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might
Oh - what if it's true
What my heart says
Oh - what'll I do
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with
You were meant to play your part
In the design of a desperate heart
And while you gave your love to me
I was betting I was getting it free
Oh - if I'd only known
What your heart cost
On - can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe,
On a bet that I lost
In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you, no disguise
I'm not sure who you think you'll see
I'm just hoping you'll still know that it's me
Oh - what if it's true
Better ask the man inside
Oh, oh - there seem to be two
One steals the love, and the other one hides
Yeah - can we call it a loan?
'Till fm paid in full for the seeds I've sown
Yeah - can we say that I've grown?
In some way that we may have yet to be shown
Oh - if I'd only known
What your heart cost
Oh - can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe,
On a bet that I lost
You were sleeping in paradise
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might
Oh - what if it's true
What my heart says
Oh - what'll I do
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with
You were meant to play your part
In the design of a desperate heart
And while you gave your love to me
I was betting I was getting it free
Oh - if I'd only known
What your heart cost
On - can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe,
On a bet that I lost
In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you, no disguise
I'm not sure who you think you'll see
I'm just hoping you'll still know that it's me
Oh - what if it's true
Better ask the man inside
Oh, oh - there seem to be two
One steals the love, and the other one hides
Yeah - can we call it a loan?
'Till fm paid in full for the seeds I've sown
Yeah - can we say that I've grown?
In some way that we may have yet to be shown
Oh - if I'd only known
What your heart cost
Oh - can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe,
On a bet that I lost
