lyrics

I caught you out back with the girl from this morning
You were both fired up from the minister’s story
Reading the lines in between her curves
The hill and the valley, the chapter and verse

No one gets out clean some never even get out
Some say its ok to go and look around
You’ve been watching her close now for 3 whole days
It’d take a couple angels to roll your eyes away

Well I tasted the air up above the surface
I could never tell the difference if i'm gonna be honest
Mighta come out clean but never got to the end
Here i am in the back row flippin pages again

Now its one week later and you try to behave
But the more you feel the more that there is to save
And now the altar call is getting louder and louder
And you realize it was never church without her

There’s a bird trapped in the building
There’s a snake wrapped around the cup
You went down to get baptized
And it felt so good that you never came up
