Absent from the grace I feel
I wasted such a shame we had to part
Stubborn heart should just make nice
But that's not how we're designed
We are defined
By our inability to compromise
And all the lust that I've disguised
This trust will not suffice
A love once so tender, sweet and soft and green
I didn't mean to be mean
But now it seems
That all my crooked schemes have caught back up to me
So take me back to the start
Rewind the wires in my heart
I'll love you 'til you're lonely
I will be your one and only
If only you would
Change your mind for me
And I'd sacrifice most anything
To hear that telephone ring one more time
With your voice on the other line
Eventually you will see my tendency
To want to kill
The most beautiful things
So take me back to the start
Rewind the wires in my heart
I'll love you 'til you're lonely
I'll be your one and only
If only you would
Change your mind for me
If only you would
Change your mind for me
