Lyrics
On The Defensive
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.
When the time is right just let go
And listen on the inside for yes or no
You want a guarantee
You want a fool-proof heart
Well love just takes you as you are
(Chorus)
So if you want to run
Then run away,but you're gonna run too far
And when love's undone
You'll need another chance to learn
No way to stand and run away
No way to win and never fall
No way to live and play it safe
No way to love on the defensive
If you lose your way,if you slip and fall
Remember somehow someday you're gonna
laugh it off
You're gonna come to clean
You're gonna rise and shine
Love awaits you down the line
(Repeat Chorus)
