lyrics

When you're afraid to be the first to blink
Afraid to be the last to know
Afraid the ship will sink
Let it go, let it go

Love is the one who set your heart on fire
The one who burns you head to toe
The one caught in the crossfire
When the universe explodes

And you can't break through
The walls that you can't see
So you keep on buildin' prison bars
Thinkin' one day you'll be free

And you trust your eyes and you hide
inside your castle made of doubt
But love is more real than the walls we build
To keep it out

Love is more real than the walls we build
To keep it out

Love is the first to lay its weapons down
The last to make demands
Love is the shore we sinkin' sailors found
And we're safe on the sand

Don't be afraid to let your reasons go
Your need to understand
Don't be afraid of hard days coming
Close your eyes, take my hand

'Cause you can't break through
The walls that you can't see
So you keep on buildin' prison bars
Thinkin' one day you'll be free

And you trust your eyes and you hide
inside your castle made of doubt
But love is more real than the walls we build
To keep it out

Love is more real than the walls we build

Love is across our dinner table
Love is across our battle lines
Love is across our fears, our great divide
Love is, love is a cross

Love is across our dinner table
Love is across our battle lines
Love is across our fears, our great divide
Love is, love is a cross

And you can't break through
The walls that you can't see
So you keep on buildin' prison bars
Thinkin' one day you'll be free

And you trust your eyes and you hide
inside your castle made of doubt
But love is more real than the walls we build
To keep it out

Love is more real than the walls we build
To keep it out
