LYRICS

Are you open for trade

Your salvation, for some faith, for some thrills

Here's a body of work for your inspection

You can trace, trace my concern

I'm concerned

I've been looking for truth

At the cost of living

I've been afraid

Of what's before mine eyes

Every answer found

Begs another question

The further you go, the less you know

The less I know

I can feel your faith

Gonna make it mine

I can be the man

I see in your eyes

Can you take my weight

Are we both too small

Know each other well

We've met before

Will we grow together

Will it be a lie

If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die

Will you marry me

Can we meet the cost

Is the power of love worth the pain of loss

Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change

Are you here for the party, or are you here for the play
