Prayed For Love

(album: My Babylon - 2019)

Friends don't lie
I've been cursing the keyboard
Sitting here till 3AM
Late night wine
Saying all I should say to you
Then delete every single line

There's all these street lights on the drive home
One day I won't think about it anymore
Just headlights on an old road, I remember

I prayed for love and I prayed for fire
I prayed you'd fall but I hoped you'd rise up
I prayed that you'd find peace and then I prayed for your disaster
That you'd crawl to me, crying out for my pardon

I prayed for love
I prayed for love
I prayed I'd see you drop from my horizon
But honestly, I'm not sure that I'd feel lighter

I prayed for love
I prayed for love
I prayed for love

I said I'm fine
There's cups of tea everywhere
And I'm fighting to stay awake
Christmas time
I don't know about a new year
When I haven't finished this one yet

There's all this advice that I don't want
Hindsight is a bird's eye to me now
Like headlights on an old road
I remember

I prayed for love and I prayed for fire
I prayed you'd fall but I hoped you'd rise up
I prayed that you'd find peace and then I prayed for your disaster
That you'd crawl to me, crying out for my pardon

I prayed for love
I prayed for love
I prayed I'd see you drop from my horizon
But honestly, I'm not sure that I'd feel lighter

I prayed for love
I prayed for love
I prayed for love

I prayed for love and I prayed for fire
I prayed you'd fall but I hoped you'd rise up
I prayed that you'd find peace and then I prayed for your disaster
That you'd crawl to me, crying out for my pardon

I prayed for love and I prayed for fire
I prayed you'd fall but I hoped you'd rise up
I prayed that you'd find peace and then I prayed for your disaster
That you'd crawl to me, crying out for my pardon
