lyrics

This is the time.
I can feel it in my bones.
With just one look, you could rewrite all I know.
Look at me go,
running away with this idea.
I always do, like a love-hungry fool.

I'm down on my knees,
one hand on my heart.
The other one's crossing fingers, waiting for this to start.
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side
that you're gonna do it, you're gonna get this right.
I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side.

I'm addicted to hope.
It's a natural high,
forgetting about the crash waiting on the other side.
Look at me go,
I've got a smile on like this is real.
And my mind, well it's full of what you possibly feel.

I'm down on my knees,
one hand on my heart.
The other one's crossing fingers, waiting for this to start.
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side
that you're gonna love me, and I'll call somebody mine.
I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil...
And the devil...
Oh, the devil...

I heard selling your sell is a foolish exchange,
but what if mine's already worn and weary?
What if selling my soul means that I get you?
The question then becomes,
are you worth what I'm willing to do?
'Cause I'd trade anything, in return for something true.

So I'm down on my knees,
one hand on my heart.
The other one's crossing fingers, waiting for this to start.
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side
that you'll come running, make this wishing worth my time.
Oh, I'm praying to the Lord, praying to the Lord,
Oh I'm praying to the Lord and the devil on the side.
