Verse

Is it all that you want?

I wish I could do that again but I already know,

that the power of Christ is inside her

is too strong for me to overthrow.

And I wasn't talking about Whoopi Goldberg

when I said that I would see your ghost.

and I will follow you now to your grave somehow,

but you've always been crap as a host,

and you'd push me from pillar to post.

Chorus

These are the days when you will recognize

 all the love and the loss in your eyes

 and the memories of me at the vending machines.

 does god even know what it means

to be taken down in fits and starts

 by village halls and vandal hearts?

 and i wish I was your lone god for just one day

 I would do the things I never do

none of which i'd owe to you

 and no-one even listens to a word these people say.

Verse

And I wish I could try that again

but I already knew that persistence is never my strong point,

this desire is too long overdue.

and I wasn't thinking I was Patrick Swayze

when I went dirty dancing with you.

And I'd follow you now to your grave somehow

but I'm not sure what good it would do.

what does that even prove?

Chorus

These are the days when you will recognize

 all the love and the loss in your eyes

 and the memories of me at the vending machines.

 does god even know what it means

to be taken down in fits and starts

 by village halls and vandal hearts?

 and i wish I was your lone god for just one day

 I would do the things I never do

none of which i'd owe to you

 and no-one even listens to a word these people say.

 And now that you fear it the most,

 I thought of you not as a ghost

 now I'm hiding confessions in prose

 none of which you'll ever alter.

Is it all that you want,

 is it everything you've got?

 my god.

to be taken down in fits and starts

by village halls and vandal hearts?

and I wish I was your lone god for just one day.

I would do the things I never do,

none of which I'd owe to you

and no-one even listens to a word these people say.

Verse

"Slow down, slow down!"

calls the captain as his ship runs aground.

and I could swing this vessel to starboard

but there's really no point in that now.

Outro

and I admit that I counted my chickens

and since then I've been counting the cost.

And you hate all life's unanswered questions,

but you still hurry home to watch Lost.
