Additional Information

Described by Jon:

l’ve always shied away from the word love ‘cause it's so overused, but it's not the love of a girl I'm talking about here. It was more what I was thinking on the morning of September 11. What’s important? The people I love are important, that's all. My mother, my father, my friends, my girlfriend… life doesn’t mean shit if you don't have that. - NZGirl.co.nz

Lyrics

Give me a place to shed my skin
There's no point waiting round to begin
'Cause the more it takes, the more you feel
Ain't got much but I know it's real
Ain't got time for wasting life away

All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you feel
Hearts that you steal they'll be coming down for love
All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you hide
Won't be denied they'll be coming down
Coming down for love

Open up and let them in
Love ain't something that you can win
'Cause the more it takes, the more you feel
Ain't got much but we know it's real
Ain't got time for wasting life away

All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you feel
Hearts that you steal they'll be coming down for love
All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you hide
Won't be denied they'll be coming down
Coming down for love

Now for every boy and every girl
With all the pain and joy in the world
It don't mean nothing without love

All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you feel
Hearts that you steal they'll be coming down for love
All the people around you
The walls that surround you are coming down
And the things that you hide
Won't be denied they'll be coming down
Coming down for love
