Book of Ruth

[Verse 1]
Poor little baby, blood on her hand
She said she’s losing her mind
She rolls her eyes, and speaks in tongues
Said it gets better with time

[Verse 2]
She wraps her head in bandages
To keep the words in her mouth
She prayed for more than what’s in store
Then locked the doors to her house

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s me, I’ve been dead for years
Let me haunt you while I wake
It’s not the life I chose to live
But it’s the one I’ll gladly take
I never said we were perfect
Let me count the ways we hate
I guess all that I have to do is wait

[Verse 3]
Inside this house, the lights are dim
We count the cracks in the paint
I got a map, she colored coastlines [?]
And all the people to save

[Verse 4]
Out on the sidewalk, wrapped in a sheet
She kissed the hands as she passed
She made a likeness out of paper
And lit the end with a match

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s me, I’ve been dead for years
Let me haunt you while I wake
It’s not the life I chose to live
But it’s the one I’ll gladly take
I never said we were perfect
Let me count the ways we hate
I guess all that I have to do is wait

[Bridge]
Poor little baby, dropped in a nightmare [?]
And she was losing her mind
And on her deathbed, with her last breath
She said, “Well, at least I tried”

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s me, I’ve been dead for years
Let me haunt you while I wake
It’s not the life I chose to live
But it’s the one I’ll gladly take
I never said we were perfect
Let me count the ways we hate
I guess all that I have to do is wait
Oh, I guess all that I have to do is wait
