lyrics

You always gave me shelter from the storm, but darling
All of this is gonna take me back
I've always been afraid, knew someday I would lose you
Now that day has come alive

You look up even when you know it's not her
Just on the offchance that her footsteps have changed
Do you ever think to have summoned someone just by thinking their name?
Babe, I do

God's cruel mercy in his own church
He let you hold her once
And now you're nearly gone, and you can't feel it yet
But when you do, you know it will be fatal
You know, in days or in decades
It may be too much to bear

The smell of your perfume, and you're the one holding on now
The smell of your perfume, and you're still the one being strong now
Look across the congregation, my lover's waiting there
And if I let go of you, do you swear you'll stay standing?
This circumstance is the worst, babe
And I can see that you're hurt, babe
So at the altar where I'm aching for you, stay
In our hands, I'll let the love unfurl

You always gave me shelter from the storm, but darling
All of this is gonna take me back
I've always been afraid, knew someday I would lose you
Now that day has come, and I'm
Living fatalistically
Pining for you
