Lyrics

Shelter

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.

I'm not asking you to run ahead

But could you try to take a single step?

How can we move forward

When you're halfway out the door?

So you've made mistakes, you have regrets

I don't need you to be perfect

Just promise you'll be honest

I promise that it's worth the risk

But I can't make you love me even if I try

I'm not gonna force you

You have to decide

I'm asking you to trust me

When I say that I'm not here for the moment

I'm in this for life

Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before

And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure

But just say the word, baby, and I'm yours

I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and warm

We can take it, take it, take it slow

'Cause it takes time to make this house a home

And clean up the mess, those are the lovers left

Oh but the past is past

So we're moving on, no turning back

I promise that I'm honest

There are greater things ahead

But I can't make you love me even if I try

I'm not gonna force you, you have to decide

I'm asking you to trust me

When I say that I'm not here for the moment

I'm in this for life

Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before

And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure

But just say the word, baby, and I'm yours

I'll be your shelter, keep you safe and warm

And I know it's hard to trust me, baby

But I won't do you wrong, no

And even when the source of light come raging

You won't have to look too far, I'll be your shelter

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh (uuh)

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before

And life will lay you low, oh, of that I'm sure

But just say the words, baby, and I'm yours

I'll be your shelter

I'll be, I'll be

I'll be, I'll be

I'll be your shelter
