Album: New Again (2009)

Catholic Knees




Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
I Scraped them up good
You doctored them clean

Oh yes, we are patient, patients
Salt-licked wounds merely bruised
(But none of that'll matter)
None of that'll matter soon
On some ancient day, see how much you can take
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter soon

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

Before my hands had the chance to grow old
I was told
'Good enough's as good as it's gonna get'
'Yeah good enough's as good as you'll ever get'

S-s-said I, I made a conscious decision
Shake the skin I was stuck in and stretched my bones
Believe in nothing
I can't quite seem to catch my breath
(But I cannot forget)

That none of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

But that's where you came in
Yeah, here we are
Yeah, here I am
That's where you came in
Now, here we are
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground
Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)
