Teddy Thompson
"Persuasion"


You and I tempted by the promise of a different life
Time has fled, there's a constant battle runnin' through my head
And I don't know what to do
Cause I still believe

After all the foolish things you put me through
I could always make start on something new
And I've always been a man who's open to persuasion

Blind romance, there'll be no half measures given half a chance
But we never learn, trusting in the fire while the cool flame burns
And we need to rebuild
What was never there, what got left behind

After all the foolish things that we've been through
I could always make start on something new
And I'll always be a man who's open to persuasion

And it's written in my heart
So that everybody can see it

And it's written in my soul
After all I still believe it, yeah (4x)

And I don't know what to do, 'cause I still believe
After all the foolish things you put me through
I could always make start on something new
And I'll always be a man who's open to persuasion, persuasion
