IF YOU LOVE

Chorus
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth
You never see the sun
You're never gonna feel the rain
With your life under glass
In the middle lane
You'll never feel the joy
Never feel the pain
Chorus
Try to build a house on top of the highest tree
It's dangerous and a bit risky
But what about the view
See the clouds and the mountains too
Chorus
Get your hands dirty
Get a little insane
Come out and play with me
Barefoot in the rain
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
(Feel the joy, feel the pain)
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth
(You see the sun and then you see the rain)
You never see the sun
You're never gonna feel the rain
With your life under glass
In the middle lane
You'll never feel the joy
Never feel the pain
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
(Feel the joy, feel the pain)
See the flowers
Growin' from the muddy earth
(You see the sun and then you see the rain)
If you love
You know you're gonna feel the hurt
Growin' from the muddy earth
(Feel the joy, feel the pain)
Never feel the pain
(You see the sun and then you see the rain)
