The second song from the Pagan Babies demo tape describes being in love with and forgiving someone who has broken your heart and doesn’t love you. Despite this, the narrator still has feelings for Bernadine and wishes she could love them.
You dominate, and promise me
Why won't you try to love me
You always knew
Lonely lovers hang from you
Why won't you cry me a river
She's gonna fall down on her knees forever
And know; I want you
You are the only perfect thing yeah
You are the one thing I dream
I just pray for release
And I'm falling into your eyes
I've got a gate into your eyes
That's the way of forgiving baby
We're much too young to be living
Sing me a lullaby
Crash into a small screen
Don't leave me in here;
Dark catacomb
Inside the lovers buy me
Only one runs to bat
True love can be so cruel
You're the only one who can lead me into
This side is better
I just pray for release, Bernadine
And I'm falling into your eyes
Gone again into your eyes
That's the way of forgiving baby
We're much too young to be living
You are the only perfect thing yeah
You are the one thing I dream
I just pray for release, Bernadine
And I'm gone again into your eyes
I've got a gate into your eyes
That's the way of forgiving baby
We're much too young to be living
