the boy, he thinks iam damaged goods
i know he does and i guess he should
i dress like him, i take him down
he gets embarrassed when his friends come around
i wanna take him to the show
im crossing over what you know
is it the boy you need in me
or the girl that you could be

come on now graceful, i want you to be
come on now social, i want you to be
come on now special, i want you to be
i want you to be, i want you

so this is the measure of me
even though it shouldn't be
the lion lays down with the lamb
i cant do it so i worth a damn

come on now graceful, i want you to be
come on now social, i want you to be
come on now special, i want you to be
come on now social, i want you to be
i want you to be, i want you to be
i want you to be

He sees a fracture, a shadowed grace,
And knows the damage etched upon my face.
I mimic him, a mirror darkly cast,
Then disappear when his true friends are passed.
I yearn to lead him, where secrets reside,
To cross the threshold, where truths confide.
Is it the boy you crave within my soul?
Or the girl I could become, to make you whole?

Come, let grace bloom, a silken, gentle plea,
Come, embrace the world, in shared company,
Come, be extraordinary, a shining decree,
I yearn for your being, eternally.

This is the measure, though it shouldn't be,
Where lion and lamb in harmony agree.
A dream I can't achieve, a whispered plea,
So I'm bound to the devil, forever free.

Come, let grace bloom, a silken, gentle plea,
Come, embrace the world, in shared company,
Come, be extraordinary, a shining decree,
Come, embrace the world, in shared company,
I yearn for your being, eternally,
I yearn for your being, for all to see.
