Emily Saliers
Compromise
[Verse 1]
You wear the cloth of finest lands
The touch of women, the toil of hands
Undress me now before i bend
From the weight of everyman

[Chorus]
When I'm walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
I'm not asking for a compromise

[Verse 2]
Now you defend, exhume, begin again
It's the riddle of a skeleton
We're all diseased so count the coupe
I can't image stopping you

[Chorus]
When I'm walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
I'm not asking for a compromise
[Verse 3]
So the earth we scorched, we breathe
We find some comfort on our knees
You find your worth in words that wind
Pleasures I don't comprehend

[Chorus]
When I'm walking through this world
I need to hold your hand
Let me take you on this ride
I hope you understand
I'm not asking for a compromise
Asking for a comp—
Asking for a compromise
