Everything That She Offered Me

(album: Eve - 2018)

Your parents climbed the stairs
Say goodnight, say goodnight, don't stay up late
You leaned your head on my shoulder
Your teenage girl knows everything
This is the best night of my
Dumb life. Is it yours too?
I've thought about this moment
I think that I love you

The clothes between moving bodies
We paused to listen for footsteps
But God himself didn't stop me
Or stop this heart inside my chest

This is the way the world was lost

When you leave with your thoughts of moments that you had
All the questions creep in, ones that you never asked
Does the change age your days?
Lost your way, you should've stayed

You have to save your soul
It's best to do what you were told
Forget the life you know
Get back, get back into the fold
Two weeks and I swore you off
Just the word and my thoughts
We'll be better the next time, I promise you
You can trust me to see it through

They say he hates us for this
I can't pray away the weakness
We lie about our wants and needs
But both could bring you to your knees

This is the way the world was lost

Everyone a virgin
Everyone a victim
We practice all the words
And celebrate the wisdom
Everyone their version
Everyone the system
Our sins creep up and spill out
From years of bad decisions

Our bodies inside
Our bodies aren't our own
Take care what you hide
Some things can't be shown
Our bodies changing
Our bodies age and die
I tried stopping myself
But that's another lie

Your parents climbed the stairs
Say goodnight, say goodnight, don't stay up late
You leaned your head on my shoulder
Oh no
