James Morrison – We Can lyrics
I know how to fall
Into a sea of desperation

It's easy
To feel small
Feel like I'm always on the outside, yeah

I know
I could do it alone
But I don’t believe in separation

It kills me
To walk on the edge
Pretending that I'm blind

We all know that we can but we don't
Yeah we say that we will when we won't
Cause we don't wanna fail

Yeah we say that we shouldn't when we 'ought to
All it takes is a boat in the water
For you to sail

We can do those things we've been told we could never do
Love don't need permission
Let's give everything, we hold back, then what can we loose
Now you tell yourself your scared but
Don't you listen

We can love
We can love
We can love

You already know
But you got fooled by isolation
That its you only
Dragging your bones
When you could be lifted off the ground

Just trust in this little love we got
I know it's not a lot but it’s enough
For us to get a taste

And if they say you never will
Just do it
They don't know what they're saying
Just do it
Before you lock it down
Just give it all away

We can do those things we've been told we could never do, yeah
Love don't need permission
Lets give everything, we hold back, then what can we loose
Now you tell yourself your scared but
Don't you listen

We can love
We can love
We can love

We can love
We can love
We can love

We can love
We can, we can, we can, we can, we can
Oh no no [?]

Open your heart
Even with all the complications
It's easy
