This song is the second song from Pedro the Lion’s fourth album, Achilles Heel. It recounts a conversation that the speaker had with a Christian who was too focused on speaking about God, rather than having a real, personal conversation.
[Verse 1]
I don't want to believe that
All of the above is true
But I could be persuaded
If you were to give me proof
Why don't you come over Thursday
Maybe we can talk it through
As if some new information
Were possible to comprehend or introduce
[Chorus]
But after all
You and I are nothing more than
Foregone conclusions
[Verse 2]
You were too busy steering
The conversation toward the Lord
To hear the voice of the Spirit
Begging you to shut the fuck up
You thought it must be the devil
Trying to make you go astray
Besides, it couldn't have been the Lord
Because you don't believe He talks that way
[Chorus]
After all
You and I are nothing more than
Foregone conclusions
Too close to call
Yet we're still so tightly wound around our
Foregone conclusions
Yeah, we're nothing more than
Foregone conclusions
Foregone Conclusions was written by David Bazan.
Pedro The Lion released Foregone Conclusions on Tue May 25 2004.
