Lyrics for State of Grace

Put my stake into the ground Made my claim this time around And in the selfsame circumstance I'd do the same again Hold on out for the one I love, for the one I know I'm of I never would be swayed It was here before we noticed it It'll be here when we're gone And if I push you away, well let me be the? rst to say That oh I've seen your light, it's in the harbour Come on pull me all the faster Back to the selfsame day Beauty comes in slow release I awaken to you piece by piece I have no need for innocence or grief Put my hand into your hand And all the words I understand They fall away like endless days upon the shore They fall away like endless days upon the shore We were here before we noticed it We'll be here if it's gone And if I led you astray, well let me be the one to say That oh, I've seen your light out in the harbour Come on pull us all the faster Into the selfsame day And I put my stake into the ground In a state of grace this time around And in the selfsame circumstance I do the same again I would do the same again I would do the same again
