Everything That She Offered Me

Your parents climbed the stairs

(Say goodnight, say goodnight, don't stay up late)

You leaned your head on my shoulder

(Your teenage girl knows everything)

This is the best night of my dumb life

Is it yours too?

I've thought about this moment

I think that I love you

The clothes between moving bodies

We paused to listen for footsteps

But God himself didn't stop me

Or stop this heart inside my chest

This is the way the world was lost

When you leave with your thoughts of moments that you had

All the questions creep in, ones that you never asked

Does the change age your days?

Lost your way, you should've stayed

You have to save your soul

(It's best to do what you were told)

Forget the life you know

(Get back, get back into the fold)

Two weeks and I swore you off

Just the word and my thoughts

We'll be better the next time, I promise you

You can trust me to see it through

They say he hates us for this

I can't pray away the weakness

We lie about our wants and needs

But both could bring you to your knees

This is the way the world was lost

Everyone a virgin

Everyone a victim

We practice all the words and celebrate the wisdom

Everyone their version

Everyone the system

Our sins creep up and spill out

From years of bad decisions

Our bodies inside

Our bodies aren't our own

Take care what you hide

Some things can't be shown

Our bodies changing

Our bodies age and die

I tried stopping myself

But that's another lie

Your parents climbed the stairs

(Say goodnight, say goodnight, don't stay up late)

You leaned your head on my shoulder

(Oh no)
