PARADISE FEARS lyrics : "Same Love"

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight
I told my mom tears rushning down my face

She's like Sam you've loved girls since before pre-k,
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head

I remember doing the math like, Yeah, I'm good at little league
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex

Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know

And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know


And I can't change
Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I try

Even if I wanted to
My love
My love

My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm


Ask yourself, what kind of person do you wanna be
And how many commandments are gonna rule how you think
And do we really mean it, when we say he loves us all?

And do we really believe it when they say that we're created equal?
Well of course I do, I'm not a racist or an $$#hole
Yet we can treat them less if their love is homosexual?

Well rules are rules and the bible's pretty clear here
Yeah we know, we get it, but we don't live by procedure
We decide what's right by what's right, not what's written

We evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions
We don't exclude people based on footnotes of exodus
Like my friend Haley who loves both of her dads

You want to tell her their love is different?
You want to make that distinction?
You want to tell her that this beautiful and limitless thing that we call love

Has rules and a proper way to do it
And that their love is less love because an old book don't approve it?
I guess here's how I see it

You got a heart beat like mine
Probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine
Well mi love es su love. Same heart. Same love

About time we raise up same sex

Love is patient

Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind


And I can't change
Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to
My love
My love

My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm


Press play, don't press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes

We turn our backs to the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna change it all

But it's a damn good place to start
So it's time that we stand without a doubt or concession
Rather than sitting here gridlocked in oppression
We all raise our voices, til they're too loud to ignore
Singing songs of acceptance

Thank you, Macklemore

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to

And I can't change
Even if I try
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love

My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm


(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind
(I'm not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient
(I'm not crying on Sundays)

Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind
