Grace
Jacob Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no rule I won't break to bring my lover back home
You better bring the police, you better call your pastor
You better come with your guard, you better bring your armada
Cause I don't wanna fall far from grace, far from grace
I'm the cool of the storm, I'm the calm of the thunder
Have my yellow brick road, I have one in the chamber
When it's all said and done, I'll be back for more
Don't wanna fall far from grace, far from grace
See, I don't wanna fall far from grace, far from grace
I want you to love me like you mean it
It's taken everything I have to be
I want you to love me like you mean it
It's taken everything I have to be
I don't wanna fall far from
I don't wanna fall, don't wanna fall
