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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
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, [bad word]  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  [bad word] with our eyes closed, we'll trip our connection 

pushin for one thing, no time for another 
Fight [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
taking the chances, we play with things we cant see 
Certain circumstances mean we will be what we will be
