about

There's this line I've always wanted to use in a song: You speak to my contradictions. But it just doesn't flow naturally so I wrote a song about the concept instead.

lyrics

You wanna win the war I wanna live in peace
You always go too far in search of your release
You talk to God when you’re dancing with the Sun
You say you talk to God - I think you’re on the run

You wanna see the world I want you home with us
You wanna be my girl with a ticket for the next bus
You talk to God when you’re counting the white lines
You say you talk to God - I think you’re running outta signs

It's not that I want to, but I love you just the same
Babe you make me blue, my love is not a game
Here's hoping you never wear my name

You wanna drink more wine i want my spirit clear
You say you wanna be mine and that’s my greatest fear
You talk to God when you’re alone in a crowd
You say you talk to God - I think you cry out loud

It's not that I want to, but I love you just the same
Babe you make me blue, my love is not a game
Here's hoping you never wear my name
