Lyrics
Compromise (Be A Poet About It)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your love is sweet and soft
Look how you use those eyes
And the way you compromise
Your love is sweet and strong
It pulls me in with the tide
And up is down and down is wrong
Go or stay, stay or go
Just be a poet about it
Fall down on your knees
Be a poet if that's what you claim to be
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry
Your love is neither hot nor cold
It's that you can't quite name it that makes me feel old
Your love comes apart when it hits the light
Go or stay, stay or go
Just be a poet about it
Fall down on your knees
Be a poet if that's what you claim to be
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry
Be a poet about it
Yeah, work up a sweat
Do everything you have not done yet
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry
Your love is sweet and it's soft
I'd kill to believe those eyes
Just look how I compromised
