Before It Comes Letra

Before it comes

I wasn't ready to return
To that promised land
Of broken promises but

Still, you stand like Mt. Everest
So much potential carved in your name
Still, you stand like America
So much potential to bruise or to blame
So much potential to make me do the same

Yeah, I know this feeling, so inconvenient
Yeah, I know this feeling, so inconvenient
Why doesn't love ask for permission
Before it comes
I wasn't ready to return
To that promised land
Of broken promises but

Still, you stand like Mt. Everest
So much potential carved in your name
Still, you stand like America
So much potential to bruise or to blame
So much potential to make me do the same

Miraculous fire-kiss, an infinite hourglass
Of risk and of chance and shall we dance
Shall we dance, shall we dance
Before it comes
