Lyrics to Jesus Saves
The finish line is always moving
With how the world's relating to me
And any new intention I employ
A Spanish subtitle in Paris
I always read slightly embarrassed
She liked me more than all the other boys
What a bad choice
Cause we were never standing still
I loved her only out of guilt
Til I died on a hill of it wasn't cheating
I swore it was an accident
The second time and then again
And I could write it off as spiritual teething
So I convince myself these days that Jesus Saves
Red bulls at the after party
To celebrate him turning twenty
And quoting DFW on life
And I found out the morning after
His sister cracked his iPhone password
And messaged me with all the other guys
A razor on my brother's wrist
He left before they made him quit
Now all your purple daises die on his birthday
You tell yourself you understand
He missed the mark, he missed his dad
But everybody else can hear what you won't say
When you asked me at his grave what Jesus Saves?
A phone call from the LAPD to notify his closest family
Before they see the footage for themselves
A side effect of being born
We love you but we love them more
He'll be reduced to morning prayers on a Sunday
Survived by his expecting wife
Who can't provide no other life
Apologies as dumb as god on an ash tray
Like it all just gets erased
With a made-up bullshit phrase
With how the world's relating to me
And any new intention I employ
A Spanish subtitle in Paris
I always read slightly embarrassed
She liked me more than all the other boys
What a bad choice
Cause we were never standing still
I loved her only out of guilt
Til I died on a hill of it wasn't cheating
I swore it was an accident
The second time and then again
And I could write it off as spiritual teething
So I convince myself these days that Jesus Saves
Red bulls at the after party
To celebrate him turning twenty
And quoting DFW on life
And I found out the morning after
His sister cracked his iPhone password
And messaged me with all the other guys
A razor on my brother's wrist
He left before they made him quit
Now all your purple daises die on his birthday
You tell yourself you understand
He missed the mark, he missed his dad
But everybody else can hear what you won't say
When you asked me at his grave what Jesus Saves?
A phone call from the LAPD to notify his closest family
Before they see the footage for themselves
A side effect of being born
We love you but we love them more
He'll be reduced to morning prayers on a Sunday
Survived by his expecting wife
Who can't provide no other life
Apologies as dumb as god on an ash tray
Like it all just gets erased
With a made-up bullshit phrase
