|[Verse 1] | |||
The air begins to feel a little thin | |||
As I start the car and then I begin | |||
To add the miles piled up behind me | |||
I barely feel a smile deep inside me | |||
[Verse 2] | |||
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south | |||
I wanna crack the door so I can just fall out | |||
But then I remember when you packed my car | |||
You reached in the back and buckled up your heart | |||
For me to drive away with | |||
I began to understand why God died | |||
[Verse 3] | |||
The demon sat there waiting on her porch | |||
It was a little dark, so he held a makeshift torch | |||
And when my car was far out of sight | |||
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night | |||
[Bridge] | |||
And then I felt chills in my bones | |||
The breath I saw was not my own | |||
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame | |||
Wasn't made to play this game | |||
And then I saw him, torch in hand | |||
He laid it out, what he had planned | |||
And then I said, "I'll take the grave | |||
Please, just send them all my way" | |||
Then I felt chills in my bones | |||
The breath I saw was not my own | |||
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame | |||
Wasn't made to play this game | |||
And then I saw him, torch in hand | |||
He laid it out, what he had planned | |||
And then I said, "I'll take the grave | |||
Please, just send them all my way" | |||
[Refrain] | |||
I began to understand why God died | |||
[Verse 4] | |||
The air begins to feel a little thin | |||
As we're waiting for the morning to begin | |||
But for now, you told me to hold this jar | |||
And when I looked inside, I saw it held your heart | |||
[Refrain] | |||
For me to walk away with | |||
I began to understand why God died | |||
