You said I had my mother's eyes
And my father's shortcomings
But you love me regardless
Its amazing much simpler everything gets
When you turn off the lights
And I started thinking something beautiful
Before I blacked out in your apartment
Thought about everything and everyone
And what they looked like on the inside
I got so high one night, that I swore that I knew Jesus
And I could stare into the dark and make sense
of all the numbers and the ghosts
And I went down to that river and jumped in with all my clothes on
I was baptized, I was traumatized, left alive and all alone
I felt the water run off my face and in between my legs
And I felt the sweat between yours and on my hands
And I got down on my knees and begged for mercy
Because there's a lot to be learned and even more
to be forgotten the next day
So come here baby, put your head on my shoulder
I've been ok for a couple weeks
I haven't cried and frankly, I miss the taste
I kissed your wet eyelids and the salt filled the cracks in my lips
And I am thankful for the pain and for every moment thats led up to it
I got so high one night that I swore that I knew Jesus
He said "nothing in this life is free, but it doesn't cost as much as you think"
