Under These Conditions

Showed your love to the darkest night

She left you in the cold but she brought you to the light

She left you for the wolves in November rain

How they howl, how I sing, how we're all the same

You took your leap, and you hit the ground

You went looking for love, but life's what you found

You got too much heart for this cold, cold world

So you gave the rest to a scared little girl

Are you gonna run my dear with the dogs from the fear that you'll never be back again?

Are you gonna hide and seek from the dreams you think nobody else would get?

Isn't that the point of loving and leaving

Finding yourself misunderstood?

That's the difference in life that you think you should have

And the life you know you could

The life you know you could

Time flew on but you've grown so strong

And I hope you don't mind me holding on

So with a little more we'll get a place of our own

But I don't need no house 'cause you are my home

And you're better off living under these conditions

Where nothing you do is an imposition

And nothing you say will be held against you

But the songs you sing cause they're nothing but true

So are we gonna run my dear with the dogs from the fear that we'll never be back again?

Are we gonna hide and seek from the dreams we think nobody else would get?

Isn't that the point of loving and leaving

Finding yourself misunderstood?

That's the difference in the life that you think you should have

And the life you know you could

The life you know you could

Yeah, you're better off living under these conditions
