Testi

[Intro]
Old man god
Old man god
[Verse 1]
I like you 'cause you call me by the name I call myself
A shortened version of a name that can't be shortened well
I wanna cry
'Cause I miss you
Do I notice when you're gone?
It seems the space you occupy is the space where you belong
I love your mum, but I don't know her very well
She speaks to me with kindness, she could easily bag and sell
I might be you if I tried, but I would rather be myself
I've learnt of myself all my life I can't act all that well
[PreChorus]
Oh, eating in your yard with you feels like what I've been working towards
So young and wise, so young and wise
And so incurably bored
[Chorus]
My childhood moves to Melbourne, joins a cult and lives out in the bush
I'm sane enough to put things off, or waiting for a pity push
I'd rather be a Jesus freak than freak out over nothing at all
If those things make you happy then we'd rather you be that than here
Knew you when you were 18
To you then I've never felt so near
If you're alright, do you think I'll be fine?
Do you think that?
Do you think an old man of a God is worth the skin that's on your hands?
[Refrain]
Old man god
[Verse 2]
You see me as a foundation, but the groundwork's not been laid yet
I could scream that in a man's face, he'd say: I never said that
There must be a sign on my back saying kiss me until I crack
I can't resist a love
I know one day I will regret that
It's a love that can't be healthy, the love I show myself
But you hold me like I'm malleable, until I'm something else
How do you hold me?
[PreChorus]
But sitting in this calm with you feels like what I've been yearning for
So young and wise, so young and wise
I'm so incurably yours
[Chorus]
My childhood moves to Melbourne, joins a cult and lives out in the bush
I'm sane enough to put things off, I'm waiting for that pity push
I'd rather be a Jesus freak than freak out over nothing at all
If those things make you happy then we'd rather you be that than here
Knew you when you were 18
To you then I've never felt so near
If you're alright, do you think I'll be fine?
Do you think that?
Do you think that?
Do you think that?
[Outro]
Old man god
Old man god
Old man god
