love's right behind you

She wears a white dress

She's beautiful and vulnerable.

She sees the light and it's saying 'come back'

She's out the door but she hasn't left yet

There's still time, still a chance.

And I start believing her when she says that

The city's gonna save her love

Don't leave her I know just what she's looking for

He has it, but she doesn't realize it.

Oh but all she knows is a picture that keeps fading on

But I can't let her go that's why I'm telling her

He's persistent, he's persistent.

I wanna love you more

Than all of the things you wanted

Than all of the things you're not

It doesn't matter where she's been, what she's done, 

he loves her even more than her dreams and beyond her failures
it's Christ-like and beautiful

You want to have it all

But you found it in the city

But the city doesn't talk

The city can't give it to you. Stop looking where it won't satisfy.
