Compromise (Be A Poet About It)

Edie Carey


Your love is sweet and soft 
Look how you use those eyes 
And the way you compromise 
Your love is sweet and strong 
It pulls me in with the tide 
And up is down and down is wrong 
Go or stay, stay or go 

Just be a poet about it 
Fall down on your knees 
Be a poet if that's what you claim to be 
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry 

Your love is neither hot nor cold 
It's that you can't quite name it that makes me feel old 
Your love comes apart when it hits the light 
Go or stay, stay or go 

Just be a poet about it 
Fall down on your knees 
Be a poet if that's what you claim to be 
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry 
Be a poet about it 
Yeah, work up a sweat 
Do everything you have not done yet 
Be a poet outside of your sad poetry 

Your love is sweet and it's soft 
I'd kill to believe those eyes 
Just look how I compromised
