lyrics

I know exactly how to set you off 
And you know how to press on every tiny little button 
That I swore I never had. And I know that this is 5 for you, 
And just one song for Jesus that I never really shared 
Because I swear it was no good. 
Plus the best way I can sing is if I write about our flaws, 
And how our flaws might be so obvious yet matter not at all. 

'Cause here's this little trick I found, 
Greater love has no one than this: 
That you lay down your life for your friends. 

You know I never really thought 
I'd have to sell my songs for money but 
This $20,000 debt just gets me insecure. 
And when I am teaching high school, will you be there right beside me; grading papers eating ramen just so we can pay the rent? 
Mom said the one thing she wished dad had done was show her some respect and she'dve stayed. 
So won't you stay? 

'Cause here's this little trick I found, 
Greater love has no one than this: 
That you lay down your life for your friends. 

You see, I've learned a thing or two 
About forgiveness and betrayal. And I heard 
That if you run away your heart will turn to stone. 
So if you hide it in your casket, make sure no one ever asks 
If it can join them for a sunset or a peaceful walk at home. 
You need to trust that people close to you are never out to hurt you... 

And if they do... 

Show them grace. 

'Cause here's this little trick I found, 
Greater love has no one than this: 
That you lay down your life for your friends.
