lyrics

HER:
For I have practiced creeping,
Evidently so have you,
Roll your feet to avoid creaking,
I’m only inches from your living room.

And you appear to be sleeping,
Oh Luck turns his face to me,
Passion without mercy,
I just ache to watch you bleed.

Now God don’t want to know me
And life goes by the same,
We don’t keep the past for pleasure,
We just wipe away the stains.

There are those who’ll resurrect me
While tryna nail me down
The devil can come get me
I stare my judgement down.

I’ve been waiting oh so long
I’ve been waiting for far too long.

It’s too late to go on home
It’s oh so late and we’re never going home again.

I wanna feel him near
But I fear you my dear,
Well, God I don’t recognise your face
I want to feel ashamed
But I don’t feel nothing,
Well, God, I can’t satisfy my faith.

And I’ve been waiting oh so long
I’ve been waiting far too long.

It’s too late (it’s too late)
To go on home
I said it’s
Oh so late and we’re never going home

Lord knows I’ve fallen for
The wrong type of man,
The wrong type of man,
Once again.
