I'm soaking all my dirty words in water
I'm trying to get them all to come clean
I never thought it'd be so hard
I should have listened from the start
Never say the things that you don't mean
Right now I'm trying to find a solution
A way to trace my steps back through the past
Well, it's one foot at a time
It's a long and slippery climb
Like going up a mountain of glass
Like a vision lighting up the sky
Like religion, like a love that satisfies
Like a prisoner set free
It's gonna feel that way to me
When forgiveness is shining in your eyes
Now don't you turn away again, I'm so sorry
I never meant to make you feel bad
I've got to lock up my lips and tongue
Gotta stop being so hot-stumped
I gotta get the big picture the first time I try
Like a vision lighting up the sky
Like religion, like a love that satisfies
Like a prisoner set free
It's gonna feel that way to me
When forgiveness is shining in your eyes
Forgiveness shining like a mirror
Forgiveness shining just like chrome
I cannot make it any clearer
I want you so bad, won't you let me come home?
Like a vision lighting up the sky
Like religion, like a love that satisfies
Like a prisoner set free
It's gonna feel that way to me
When forgiveness is shining in your eyes
Forgiveness
Forgiveness shining in your eyes
Forgiveness
