Somebody told me
Once in a lifetime
Destiny finds you and blows you away
Spins you in circles
Pulls you in pieces
Bleeds you like Jesus
And goes on its way
But it’s oh so simple sometimes
Just to lay your heart open wide
If you wanna get to heaven
Then you gotta take the ride

Love lift me
Wherever you are
Convince me
I’m safe in your arms
Love lift me
Make sense of it all
Teach me to fly
And don’t let me fall

Somebody told me
Love makes you stupid
Makes you go crazy
Makes you go blind
Comes uninvited
And leaves when it wants to
Calls you at midnight and ties up your line
But it’s oh so sweet when it’s right (there’s nothin’ better)
And you swear you won’t but you might (you’re gonna try)
Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light

Love lift me
Wherever you are
Convince me
I’m safe in your arms
Love lift me
Make sense of it all
Teach me to fly
And don’t let me fall

And when it’s all said and done
It’s just the same for everyone
You’re busy making your plans
Love’s like a bird, baby
Flying out of your hands

And it’s oh so hard to explain (we don’t know nothin’)
And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try)
Better batten down the hatches baby
Here we go again

Love lift me
Wherever you are
Convince me
I’m safe in your arms
Love lift me
I’m waiting on you
‘Cause nothing can lift me
The way that you do

Love lift me (lift me up, lift me up, only love can take me higher)
Love lift me (lift me up, lift me up, take me to a higher ground)
Love lift me (lift me up, lift me up)
Only love can take me higher, baby
I wanna fly

If I had a crystal ball, I would throw it against the wall
‘Cause some things, you just don’t wanna know
So don’t try to read my palm or predict what we’ll become
‘Cause the real thing just needs space to grow

I do believe in us, but
But you can’t fast forward through
The kinda deep only time can prove
What’s the rush baby, trust what faith can do

Let’s not play the game of love with scared money
Let’s not say what we’ll become
Let’s just roll the dice and throw away the cards
You don’t have to push so hard
‘Cause the gypsy in me needs to roam your heart

You know I would live my life
Out of a suitcase every night
Before I’d let you tie me down
So just lean back and relax
Feel your bare feet in the grass
And let love run on open ground

I do believe in you but
You can’t tell a bird not to fly
You can’t tell the sun when to shine
What’s the rush baby, we can take our time

Let’s not play the game of love with scared money
Let’s not say what we’ll become
Let’s just roll the dice and throw away the cards
You don’t have to push so hard
‘Cause the gypsy in me needs to roam your heart

The finest tapestry takes patience and the ability to wait
For each thread to support the bigger picture and the larger purpose
And in the fearless, reckless pursuit of intimate love
It is not the destination it’s the journey

Let’s not play the game of love with scared money
Let’s not say what we’ll become
Let’s just roll the dice and throw away the cards
You don’t have to push so hard
‘Cause the gypsy in me needs to roam your heart

I don’t know what I was thinking
‘Til I was thinking of you
I don’t remember a thing before I opened my eyes
And you came into view
I don’t know what I was doing
When there was nothing to do
Must’ve been waiting for someone, baby
Now I can see – I was waiting for you

I’d give up my sight just to see you
I’d beg, I would borrow and steal
I’d cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you’d know how I feel
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t follow
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
‘Cause I wouldn’t wanna be me
If I didn’t have you

Driving myself to distraction
Until you got in my way
I was just whistling Dixie
Till you struck up the band
And they started to play
I don’t know how I was living
Until you came in my life
I always knew there was something wrong
Then you came along
Baby, you made it right

I’d give up my sight just to see you
I’d beg, I would borrow and steal
I’d cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you’d know how I feel
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t follow
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
‘Cause I wouldn’t wanna be me
If I didn’t have you

I was alone in the silence
‘Til I was hearing your voice
I couldn’t see my way clear until you parted the clouds
And you gave me a choice
I couldn’t pick up the pieces
‘Til I was falling apart
I didn’t know I was bleeding
‘Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart

I’d give up my sight just to see you
I’d beg, I would borrow and steal
I’d cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you’d know how I feel
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t follow
There’s no place that I’d rather be
This life without you would be hollow
This love is a gift, and you gave it to me
All that I am, you have made me
And baby, I know that it’s true
I’d give it all up in a heartbeat
Just to spend every moment with you

There’s no place that I wouldn’t follow
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
‘Cause I wouldn’t wanna be me
If I didn’t have you
