Will there be a warning

When we exhaust the altitudes of love

Or some disenchanted morning

When we return headfirst from above

I have wanted to be right so many times

A certain kind of righteousness gone wrong

So please give me fair warning

If we’re hopeless now as I’ve been all along

There is beauty in sincerity

And stupidity all the same

I won’t argue though I won’t deny it

Darling, there’s no higher power

No desire like our fire

Nothing you can say or do to

Drive me away from you

Will there be redemption

For lovers overripe for ridicule

Or some benevolent exemption

For all of those reminding us the world is cruel

Some say people have been making love for centuries

And I say "good for them" and "fair enough"

Though I may never prove it

It feels like we invented all this stuff

There’s an arrogance to being young

Every lover longs to prolong

But the greatest trick is not to jinx it

Darling, there’s no higher power

No desire like our fire

Nothing you can say or do to

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you

Drive me away from you
