[Verse 1] You come alive, you come alive You come alive like a soul-street soldier You try to find, you try to find To find a line but you cross it over Hold this close Don't let go You try to hide, you try to hide Before tonight can we just get closer
[Chorus] You can take this hard Or you can dial it down there You can play these cards Or you can deal them right back But why do we make this hard When it doesn't have to be You can climb these steps Or you can see where they go You can find what's next Or someday maybe you'll know That we can have nothing left But as long as you're next to me I believe I believe
[Verse 2] You run away, you run away You run away from the paranoia But if you stay, but if you stay But you erase all the words I told ya
[Chorus] You can take this hard Or you can dial it down there You can play these cards Or you can deal them right back But why do we make this hard When it doesn't have to be You can climb these steps Or you can see where they go You can find what's next Or someday maybe you'll know That we can have nothing left But as long as you're next to me I believe I believe You can take this hard Or you can dial it down there You can play these cards Or you can deal them right back But why do we make this hard When it doesn't have to be You can climb these steps Or you can see where they go You can find what's next Or someday maybe you'll know That we can have nothing left But as long as you're next to me I believe I believe
[Outro] But as long as you're next to me I believe I believe You can take this hard Or you can dial it down there You can play these cards Or you can deal them right back But we can have nothing left But as long as you're next to me I believe I believe
