paradise fears - same love lyrics

when i was in the 3rd grade
i thought that i was g-y
cause i could draw, my uncle was
and i kept my room straight
i told my mom, tears rushing down my face
she’s like, “sammy you’ve loved girls since before pre-k”
yeah, cause she had a point, didn’t she
a bunch of stereotypes all in my head
i remember doing the math like
“yeah, i’m good at little league”
a pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
for those who like the same s-x had the characteristics
the right-wing conservatives think it’s a decision
and you can be cured with some treatment and religion
man-made, rewiring of a predisposition playing god
ah nah, here we go
america the brave still fears what we don’t know
and god loves all his children is somehow forgotten
let me paraphrase a book written 35 hundred years ago
i don’t know

and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
my love, my love, my love
she keeps me warm [x4]

ask yourself, what kind of person do you wanna be
and how many commandments are gonna rule how you think
and do we really mean it, when we say he loves us all?
and do we really believe it when they say that we’re created equal?
of course i do, i’m not a racist or an -ssh0l-
yet we can treat them less if their love is h0m-s-xual?
well rules are rules and the bible’s pretty clear here
yeah we know, we get it, but we don’t live by procedure
we decide what’s right by what’s right, not what’s written
we evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions
we don’t exclude people based on footnotes of exodus
like my friend haley who loves both of her dads
you want to tell her their love is different?
you want to make that distinction?
you want to tell her that this beautiful and limitless
thing that we call love
has rules and a proper way to do it
and their love is less love because an old book don’t approve it?
i guess here’s how i see it
you got a heartbeat like mine
probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine
well mi love es su love, same heart, same love
about time that we raised up same s-x

love is patient
love is kind
love is patient
love is kind

and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
my love, my love, my love
she keeps me warm [x4]

press play, don’t press pause
progress, march on!
with a veil over our eyes
we turn our backs to the cause
till the day my uncles can be united by law
kids are walkin’ around the hallway
plagued by pain in their heart, a world so hateful
someone would rather die than be who they are
and a certificate on paper isn’t gonna change it all
but it’s a d-mn good place to start
so it’s time that we stand without a doubt or concession
rather than sitting here gridlocked in oppression
we all raise our voices, til they’re too loud to ignore
singing songs of acceptance
thank you, macklemore

and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
and i can’t change
even if i tried
even if i wanted to
my love, my love, my love
she keeps me warm [x4]

(not cryin’ on sundays) love is patient, love is kind
(not cryin’ on sundays) love is patient, love is kind
(not cryin’ on sundays) love is patient, love is kind
love is patient, love is kind
