Revolutions - The Gospel Youth

You look familiar, like a home I used to live in

I don’t recognise the rooms, they might have torn down half the building

While I find some kind of comfort in the way you call my name

I will not stay

Stole a date, you drove across the coast to see me

Always left something behind, so that you always had a reason

Kept it close enough that I could reminisce the way it’s maybe not the same

It doesn’t change

There’s broken glass in all the sand beneath us

There’s always «maybe this time»

If this is love, then I don’t wanna be a part of it

I have seen the way it ends, despite the highs you always start with

If this is love, then take my name off of your tongue

I can’t handle all the madness, I refuse to be a part of it if it’s love

I called you names.

Little names that held a promise

I tried my best to call you distance but it wasn’t what I wanted

You did your best to keep a guard and so did I

It’s not too late

There’s broken glass in all the sand beneath us

There’s always «why won’t you try?»

If this is love, then I don’t wanna be a part of it

I have seen the way it ends, despite the highs you always start with

If this is love, then take my name off of your tongue

I can’t handle all the madness, I refuse to be a part of it if this is love

But maybe you can save my soul

Maybe you could be the half that makes me whole

Maybe you might not let go

I found your waves, crashing down upon the coast

Of everything that I was sure of, every skeleton and ghost

And in that moment I remember, I was safe, I heard you say

It doesn’t have to be this way

If this is love, then I need you in every part of it

Every single taste of madness, every high burnt in my heart and

If this is love, your name’s already on my lips

For all the miles we are apart, I will fight through every part of this

If it’s love, tear down the walls within my soul

Cause you are beautiful in ways that I never even known

If this is love then this is love, if this is love
