"For Keeps" lyrics

"For Keeps"

If the Devil's in the details and God is everything
Who's to say that they are not one in the same?
But neither one of them were there
In the mezzanine cheap seats
Or waking up in dirty sheets

We were not something
We were not nothing
We were in between things that made sense
But you wanted it
And I wanted it
And that's the only thing that mattered in the end

If the Devil's in the details
Then God is in the gap in your teeth
You are doing the Lord's work
Every time you smile at me
I don't believe in anything anymore except
You and me, supremacy

But I still miss you
When I'm with you
'Cause I know we're not
Playing for keeps
