It's grandpa's last communion
At the bottom of the lake
Won't you come lay down your burden
If it's more than you can take

If you knew what I was thinking
You'd never shake my hand
There's a star exploding in my head
And it's more than I can stand

Your grandma never calls you
And she lives so far away
But your grandma gives you money
Never more than you can take

And you feel just like a beggar
But it's a feeling you can shake
Yea you could live like this forever
Or till it's more than you can take

I have no question of your innocence
What you are makes perfect sense to me
Oh no, oh no

We were down in Atlantic City
When the winds began to change
And the road fell out from under you
And I let you slip away
Yea I made some bad decisions
That were never mine to make
And I broke some old connections
That I thought I had to break

I have no questions of your innocence
Who you are makes perfect sense to me
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no

It's grandpa's last communion
At the bottom of the lake
Please don't offer me forgiveness
That'd be more than i can take

If I had loved and lost you
Then I could live with my mistake
But I never tried to love you
And that's more than I can take
Much more than I can take
