  • There's two kinds of prayers on your knees
    The ones that you need and the ones that you mean
    But whatever I think or believe
    Either way, you are the answer for me

    Somewhere between darkness and light
    And the gray where we live between wrong and right
    Whether I'm lost or I'm washed in the river
    You love me a saint or a sinner

    From hellbent and chasing a dream
    To crying and coming apart at the seams
    I'm a love story full of extremes
    Yeah, I'd never ask you but you'll always be

    Somewhere between darkness and light
    And the gray where we live between wrong and right
    Whether I'm lost or I'm washed in the river
    You love me a saint or a sinner
    Yeah, you love me a saint or a sinner

    I love you, there's no secret why
    But the reasons you love me are harder to find
    It doesn't add up, at least not to me
    But somehow you see who I'm trying to be

    Somewhere between darkness and light
    And the gray where we live between wrong and right
    And whether I'm lost or I'm washed in the river
    You love me a saint or a sinner
    You love me a saint or a sinner, yeah yeah

    Somehow we've stumbled our way into love
    A long life with you isn't long enough, no
    Somehow we've stumbled our way into love
    A long life with you isn't long enough
    You love me a saint or a sinner
    You love me a saint or a sinner Writer/s: BARRY GEORGE DEAN, HUNTER EASTON HAYES, LORI MCKENNA
