Faded Paper Figures
Crossing Out
[Verse 1]
You’re so tired ’cause
You got up in the morning
And you’re not a morning person but
You understand the virtues of
Not knowing what goes on
When everyone has gone to sleep

[Verse 2]
You’re so puzzled ’cause
The cross words of the bible
Seem so cross they cancel out the love;
In echoes through the empty church
They’re crossing out the names
Of everyone who said they’d never change

[Verse 3]
Clocks are precious ’cause
We often go unconscious
And we want to see the morning sky
Break out from the darkness
Though I know we’ll soon be gone
There’s part of me that thinks I’ll never die

[Outro]
You can cross me out, I’m ok
