Please Don’t Give Me What I Want

[Intro]
Oh love, how long?
Love, how long?
How long?
Oh love, how long?
Love, how long?
How long?

[Verse 1]
Oh please, don't give me what I want
And protect me from the quake to come
My dear, I know the hounds are near
Oh, I'm fickle as a pendulum
I trembled in the winter pale
Wrecked to the depths of my wickedness
And breathless, luckless, though I am
The heart of a lion inside the lamb

[Chorus]
Won't you come for me
Across the line
And hold my heart?
If only, only, only, only

[Verse 2]
Please don't give me what I want
And forsake my basest whim
There come for our embrace by night
And I'm harboring my sin
Darling, you know I'm afraid of leaving
Morning's light bears the cross I stood
And I wish I was good

[Pre-Chorus]
If only, only, only, only
I could

[Chorus]
Won't you come for me
Across the line
And hold my heart?
If only, only, only, only
