Sitting here skipping church Trying to write you a song It’s taking all day long But I like you Sat here once before Playing the guitar Along with me Made the song complete But I had this feeling that you would never need me I let the pain sink so low To the point where I’d push you away just to save your day You don’t need to know That now I will learn how To play by myself in this town I’ll play ‘til my fingers bleed I miss your melody This insecurity is getting the best of me But if you choose that you miss me too You could always join me in the youth room You could play the keys Or you could play the strings Or you could even sing along with me ‘Cos when you sing the stars burn bright As they all fall into line You are adding beauty to life One lullaby at a time And when you speak Wisdom leaks From your lips, leaves me hanging On every word that you say Gets louder the further you are away But you keep saying how we barely even know each other Well, this ain’t a love song, it’s a proposal That we get to know each other https://spencercarlson.bandcamp.com/track/church
