“i hope god don’t mind if we talk awhiles...”

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If the headlines could go one week Without a shepherd molesting his sheep God never hurt me, it's the people in His name His voice they are called by somehow wants the same thing; A platform for fame [Chorus 1] I can see through everything about you A lonely puppet on a horse so high I can smell you 'cause I'm the same Tell 'em with conviction and believe what you say [Verse 2[ After work, she came home to talk about the night before It helps if I'm holding her hand We laid on our backs, let our guts spill on the floor She doesn't trust me sometimes, just 'cause I'm a man Try to understand When I get pissed, I go silent And deaf And a grinning match starts somewhere out of my lips So I'll step out back and burn one for you on the steps And give it awhile And curse at the wind until I come back in [Chorus 2] I work hard til everyone can see it Love, I swear I won't have time to live 'Cause she deserves more and we want kids Even though that I'm still not sure that we know how to raise them [Bridge] Her heart is cluttered, happy and full Like a living room on Christmas morning The future's blurry but altogether bright Like a lens that's out of focus that still lets in the light [Chorus 3] Does settle down mean settling? My stubborn mouth will never choke on pride Better plan on surrendering I'm afraid you married someone ugly on the inside
