New Jerusalem

[Verse]

Patiently waiting for some new Jerusalem.

A sacred time where demons didn't know you then

Stood on the banks clutching rosary noose

Open the floodgates and abandon the sluice

Oh, Laura, I love you more

Than you'll ever know

How can I protect you from these things that you won't let go?

[Verse]

I wish I'd been older

I wish I'd been more of a guardian

A shoulder to cry upon, a brother to rely upon

I took your shelter, I didn't think twice

I owe you everything, I owe you my life

I was afraid, I ran away

Oh, I begged you to come for the skies

On fire, and you couldn't see it, at all

[Chorus]

And love is just a word

You thought that you heard

All it means is never, never say never, no

Don't give up on me yet

Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

It's just a word

You thought that you heard

All it means is never, never say never, no

Don't give up on me yet

Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

[Bridge]

I'm trying to find a way back home

I'm trying to find a way back home

I'm trying to find a way back home

I'm trying to find a way back home

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Love is just a word

You thought that you heard

All it means is never, never say never, no

Don't give up on me yet

Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

It's just a word

You thought that you heard

All it means is never, never say never, no

Don't give up on me yet

Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?
