"Dear God" lyrics

"Dear God"

What would I do? And what would I do?
What would I do
Without you?

Take me out of this world I'm living in
Tell, tell my friends cause I know I'mma see again

Hey Dear God
Show me how to rope a dope
Don't know why
I want you to see it
I want you to feel it
Dear dear God
Why's there so much fight in them eyes
I want you to see it
I want you to feel it

Dear God you save the only lonely lives
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling fine
These days I see too much
I ain't got time
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind

Take me out of this world I'm living in
Tell, tell my friends cause I know I'mma see again

Hey Dear God
You've heard it know it note for note
Blows my mind
I want you to feel me
I want you to see it
Dear Dear God
It's here, it's all so clear
And my heart survi-i-i-i-ives
I-i-i-i-i-ives

Dear God you save the only lonely lives
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling fine
These days I see too much
I ain't got time
I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
(And what would I do?)

Take me out of this world I'm living in
Tell, tell my friends cause I know I'mma see again
Take me out of this world I'm living in
Tell, tell my friends cause I know I'mma see again
Take me out of this world I'm living in
Tell, tell my friends cause I know I'mma see again

Josh Carter said that the instrumental for "Dear God" was inspired by a sample he took from an old soul Ohio group of '60s. He explained to Spin.com, "That was a beat that I started making five years before we started Phantogram. It had that '80s sort of pulsing, sort of walking bass in it. I added that and had written a top-line sort of hook."
