Empty from the Start

Stars falling from the sky
Buildings burning all the time
Tall rivers running wild
Stretching out for miles and miles
I think I heard a good man say
God is love and love has made us
But have you seen the news today
I have and I think God is gone away
If he was ever there anyway
‘Cause anyone who tells you they were born good is lying
We’re just born and we are dying
And I know it’s been said but mothers be good to your daughters
And then they’re older sons be good to your fathers

This is all we have
This is all we are
Blood and bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do that would save me
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do but lately
I don’t mind
‘Cause I’ve been finding
The only thing worth loving more than me is loving you

You get stuck staring at the past
You get stuck looking at the future through a looking glass
Time is gone when time was slow
This time is all you have and now it’s gone but now you know
And I hope you save
A picture of me in your pocket when I’m gone away
And I will do the same for you
To truly love someone is the closest I have come to truth

This is all we have
This is all we are
Blood and bones no Holy Ghost
Empty from the start
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do that would save me
There’s nothing you can do honey
Nothing you can do but lately
I don’t mind
‘Cause I’ve been finding
The only thing worth loving more than me is loving you
