San Cristóbal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have not been writing that many new songs
How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone, and
You have not been writing me as often as I wished
And sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed, and

[Chorus]
I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded marketplace, in a town I can't recall, and
The teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
And my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false, and back at home
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall, and
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call, give you a call

[Verse 2]
I have not been writing as often as I hoped
But there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control, and
You have not been visiting; I can't say that I mind
Cause every time you go somewhere, you leave somewhere behind, and

[Chorus]
I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded marketplace whose name I cannot recall, and
The teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
But I didn't think he meant so soon - no, not so soon at all, and back at home
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall, and
I found religion out in San Cristobal
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call
So I'm calling now, but it says I don't got the number right

[Bridge]
Your body looks to me a way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad? And what you did this for?
She said your body looks to me a way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad? And I can't do this anymore, and

[Chorus]
I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
In the back of a liquor store in that mini-mall, and
You found religion when you realized you could fall
Now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call
So you're calling now, but I lie, and I tell you that I've moved

[Outro]
Everything's brand, everything's brand
Everything's brand
Everything's brand, everything's brand
Everything's brand new
