I Hope God Don't Mind If We Talk Awhiles - Abandon Kansas

If the headlines could go one week

Without a shepherd molesting his sheep

God never hurt me, it’s the people in His name

His voice they are called by somehow wants the same thing;

A platform for fame

I can see through everything about you

A lonely puppet on a horse so high

I can smell you 'cause I’m the same

Tell 'em with conviction and believe what you say

After work, she came home to talk about the night before

It helps if I’m holding her hand

We laid on our backs, let our guts spill on the floor

She doesn’t trust me sometimes, just 'cause I’m a man

Try to understand

When I get pissed, I go silent

And deaf

And a grinning match starts somewhere out of my lips

So I’ll step out back and burn one for you on the steps

And give it awhile

And curse at the wind until I come back in

I work hard til everyone can see it

Love, I swear I won’t have time to live

'Cause she deserves more and we want kids

Even though that I’m still not sure that we know how to raise them

Her heart is cluttered, happy and full

Like a living room on Christmas morning

The future’s blurry but altogether bright

Like a lens that’s out of focus that still lets in the light

Does settle down mean settling?

My stubborn mouth will never choke on pride

Better plan on surrendering

I’m afraid you married someone ugly on the inside
