You think persuasion is gonna take me home
I can't let you in,
no I hear you knocking at my door
Sounds so sweet on the inside,
but I'm torn between you and sensibility
Can't you give me something,
some kind of bitter sweet remedy (yeah yeah yeah)

Read my defenses;
don't talk when i'm around you
Read my defenses;
don't break you'll find your way thru
Taking the chances,
we play with things we can't see
Certain circumstances mean we will be what we will be

You think persuasion is gonna take me now
I hear what you say,
but I don't see nothing right from wrong
Fill my head with affection;
consume me with your sincerity
can't you give me something to soothe my mind endlessly (yeah yeah)

Read my defenses; don't talk when I'm around you
Read my defenses; don't break you'll find your way thru
taking the chances, we play with things we can't see
Certain circumstances mean we will be what we will be

lead me with persuasion, I'm coming; shelter this storm
lead me with persuasion, surround me; keep me calm

tainted by the situation
I find myself here
eye to eye, ?? contemplation,
We're still searching
Won't you carry me on?

Carry me on
Carry me on
Carry me on

pushin for something, we don't see no further
We run with our eyes closed, we'll trip our connection

pushin for one thing, no time for another
Fight thru the feeling, and still we're connected

read my defenses; don't talk when I'm around you
read my defenses; don't break you'll find your way thru
taking the chances, we play with things we cant see
Certain circumstances mean we will be what we will be
