Sunday Best

God bless destruction of an ego

The condemnation of your pride

'Cause it's quite freeing to hit the ground and take it in your stride

Choose what to keep and leave behind

The contradictions that you can't change

Big blackout nights and dark red skies

The imitation of a life you'd love but never tried

Is what you'll hunger for in time

Hold on, don't forget

Careful with words left unsaid

I'll look for you in your Sunday best

And you can remind me it ends

The kind of sex that requires sadness

Is not a way to spend your time

Don't walk on eggshells if you're not the shy, retiring kind

Don't betray your body or your mind

A declaration of forgiveness

A celebration of desire

The sweet seduction of the sand inside an hourglass

A ticking clock hung on a wire

Hold on, don't forget

Careful with words left unsaid

I'll look for you in your Sunday best

And you can remind me it ends

Keep thinking one day maybe I will find the beauty in goodbye

See the sweetness in the knowing that we really tried

Stories bought with broken ribs, this taste of sugar on your lips

The kind of feeling that you haven't had since we were kids

Silver linings in defeat, pavement cracks beneath your feet

The kind of love you hold onto until you find out what it means

I'm thinking one day maybe I will find the freedom in goodbye

Find the solace in the promise that you really tried

I know you really tried

Hold on, don't forget

Careful with words left unsaid

I'll look for you in your Sunday best

And you can remind me it ends
