"God Between Us" lyrics

"God Between Us"

Well I told you, sitting on the floor
My theory of the universe
That God was before we were born
And all we spend our lives fighting for

Now look at us, we're ground to dust
We've been taught that to suffer is enough
I warned you that we need too much
Oh, people like us should never fall in love

But you didn't listen
Leaning in to kiss me
You were too busy thinking I was the one

Oh, there is God between us
And in all disaster
There is God between us now

And I told you standing at the door
The curse of always wanting more
The long and slow painful withdrawal
I warned you what we're fighting for

Now look at us, how we fall apart
I told you of our emptiness
You dusted the parts of broken glass
And kissed your name upon my heart

But you didn't listen
Leaning in to kiss me
You were too busy thinking I was the one

No, there is God between us
And in all disaster
There is God between us now

And I warned you at the City Hall
It's not me that you're vowing for
But the God, the one that's in us all
Your own reflection in my soul

Now look at us, we have it all
We are a two-headed animal
We've lost ourselves, but won the war
We are all we've been fighting for

And I didn't listen
Leaning in to kiss him
I was too scared thinking I was the one

Oh, there is God between us
And in all disaster
There is God between us all
