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 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
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 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
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'd 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
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
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
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
