Sins

[Verse 1]
Have I got news for you
I’m singing the blues to you
Oh baby, would you please acknowledge me?
And, I’ve read history
Mixed emotions on the way I used to be
Maybe I would change it, but I can't

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you could
Wash away my sins I’ve been so good
I’ll figure out
What the story’s arc is all about
And, if you should
Weep beside my willows
Please don’t act this way just ‘cause you can

[Chorus]
Baby turn the stone
Don’t let things just be
Rest your case in my embrace
And, act as though in dreams
Baby turn the stone
Carve our names in trees
Rest your case in my embrace

[Verse 2]
Have I found words for you
I’m sending a book to you
I fixate on the chapters in between
And, I know artistry
Mixed emotions on the way you painted me
We’re not statues just because we stand

[Pre-Chorus]
And, if you could
Wash away my sins I’ve been so good
I’ll figure out
What the story’s arc is all about
And, if you should
Sleep upon my pillow
Please don’t act this way just ‘cause you can

[Chorus]
Baby turn the stone
Don’t let things just be
Rest your case in my embrace
And, act as though in dreams
Baby turn the stone
Carve our names in trees
Rest your case in my embrace
