"Bible Passages" lyrics

I put my pen down, it only writes words about you
I look out my window, but you always trump the view
No matter where I go
All I see is you

I took a look outside
There's a streetlight burning gold against a milky sky
The stars a million fold, a constellation shines
All I see is you

And though I'm all caught up and tangled, child
My aim is tried and true
It's always, "You should see the other guy"
When I come home black and blue
They used to read me Bible passages
In sixth and seventh grade
I was asleep before, but now I am awake

I pray to several gods, they don't return my calls
I saw the opera, but it made no sense at all
I'm up against the odds
All I see is you

There's only one thin dime between the streets and I
On and on it rolls

Though I'm all caught up and tangled, child
My aim is tried and true
It's always, "You should see the other guy"
When I come home black and blue
They used to read me Bible passages
In sixth and seventh grade
I was asleep before, but now I am awake

Don't matter if it takes all night
I ain't got anything else to do but drive
Let the morning sun lick the sky
My eyes won't rest 'til they rest on you

And though I'm all caught up and tangled, child
My aim is tried and true
It's always, "You should see the other guy"
When I come home black and blue
They used to read me Bible passages
In sixth and seventh grade
I was asleep before, but now I am awake
I was asleep before, but now I am awake
