Bad Books - Left Your Body lyrics
[Bad Books - Left Your Body lyrics]
We were sitting there nervous trying to
Keep our eyes from making contact
You were laying there looking worse than
You had looked the previous Sunday
I was trying to imagine how it felt
For you and you released it
Tried to put myself inside your shoes
And felt like that was selfish
I don't know what it looks like
Where you are, but I mean
It must look better
Than just laying around and counting down
Until you meet your Maker
I imagine that He held your hand and
Showed you that you're far from perfect
That every single person he created has been
A screw up you can't help it
Might as well just take that
Blame, take off your shoes
Start getting comfy
There is nothing but forgiveness
Here, the journey's over, glad you met me
There is nothing but deliverance here
It's pure and logic than you could be
And all the judgement that He yelled about
Is more about yourself than you'd think
I'm a seven page laundry list of sinful
Deeds I swore were not me
And I felt you're the shadow of my death
Still scares the soul out of me
I couldn't even wrap my head around how
I could find a throne for judging
Still I sat there quietly, resenting you
Resenting daddy
And all that I can do is hope and hope
And hope that the Lord will treat me
The way that I believe he treated you
When you left this earth and body
And then these flaming tongues
Landed unto ourselves
And put a new tongue, a new language
In the bible in the bible
Keep our eyes from making contact
You were laying there looking worse than
You had looked the previous Sunday
I was trying to imagine how it felt
For you and you released it
Tried to put myself inside your shoes
And felt like that was selfish
I don't know what it looks like
Where you are, but I mean
It must look better
Than just laying around and counting down
Until you meet your Maker
I imagine that He held your hand and
Showed you that you're far from perfect
That every single person he created has been
A screw up you can't help it
Might as well just take that
Blame, take off your shoes
Start getting comfy
There is nothing but forgiveness
Here, the journey's over, glad you met me
There is nothing but deliverance here
It's pure and logic than you could be
And all the judgement that He yelled about
Is more about yourself than you'd think
I'm a seven page laundry list of sinful
Deeds I swore were not me
And I felt you're the shadow of my death
Still scares the soul out of me
I couldn't even wrap my head around how
I could find a throne for judging
Still I sat there quietly, resenting you
Resenting daddy
And all that I can do is hope and hope
And hope that the Lord will treat me
The way that I believe he treated you
When you left this earth and body
And then these flaming tongues
Landed unto ourselves
And put a new tongue, a new language
In the bible in the bible
