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
