"Communion (Country Version)" lyrics

"Communion (Country Version)"

You said that I was religious
'Cause I hate Halloween
I thought you read too much into it
But now I see what you mean
Why do I love Philip Larkin?
He would've hated me
I think our outlook is in common
Unfortunately

But I had the nicest dress in class for my communion
I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best
I didn't know what money had to do with it
And I feel like growin' old is just a test

I've been changin' my profession
In my head every week
I'm too old to dance for a livin'
My now indecision's bleak
I'm never gonna own a house
Or impress my family
Shit happens and I'm still here, oh
Unfortunately

But I had the nicest dress in class for my communion
And I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best, oh
And I didn't know what money had to do with it
And I feel like growin' old is just a test

Hey
I wish I wasn't everything I hate
Slice me up and serve me on God's plate
I'll always be descendin' from that high
Where do they serve the Eucharist on Friday nights?

I had the nicest dress in class for my communion
I've always tried to be the prettiest and the best
I didn't know what money had to do with it
And I feel like growin' old is just
I feel like growin' old is just a test
