american church

In the American church, I wait for you to arrive

To my surprise, I can never find you

Find you

Keep me waiting, I'll keep guessing

There's so much nothing to contemplate

I'll stand in the rubble

In the same manners as we were younger

Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops

Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops

Blood drops

I jumped right in, the shock sets

Next hits the hard cement

We had to learn the hard way

Life was set in stones we carved

By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde

And you live with a man that you can't stand

Kind of funny how it works

When we witnessed it firsthand

In the American church, I wait for you to arrive

To my surprise, I can never find you

Find you

Keep me waiting, I'll keep guessing

There's so much nothing to contemplate

I'll stand in the rubble

In the same manners as we were younger

Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops

Jump off the rooftop, you'll cough up blood drops, blood drops

In the American church, you say we're all cursed

Take my worth, hurt me

In the American church, you'll break out

Bursting through my mind, convert me

I jumped right in, the shock sets

Next hits the hard cement

We had to learn the hard way

Life was set in stones we carved

By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde

And you live with a man that you can't stand

Kind of funny how it works

When we witnessed it firsthand

Oh, firsthand

Remember at six, when we were just kids

And all the hard hits healed as we walked it off?

Instead, Mama was dealing with her alcohol

When all that I would do was sit and enjoy the view

I jumped right in, the shock sets

Next hits the hard cement

We had to learn the hard way

Life was set in stones we carved

By the cars at the park for Mom

Now your hair's blonde

And you live with a man that you can't stand

Kind of funny how it works

When we witnessed it firsthand
