O God - Jenny Owen Youngs

I know how this part goes

We’ll call it casual

You’ll say that’s fine with you

You like to keep things loose

But then some time will pass

I know you’ll tire of it

You want me carved in stone

You want the best of it

O god

I can’t stay I won’t stay for things left unseen

I can’t stay I won’t stay I know you’re a dream

A sweet sweet dream

You think you’ve seen one girl

So you’ve seen every girl

You know her breath will catch

And how her fingers curl

Around a gnawing hope

She’ll find a love that burns

I’ve seen a hundred backs

But never one return

O god

I can’t stay I won’t stay for things left unseen

I can’t stay I won’t stay I know you’re a dream

A sweet sweet dream

O god

I can’t stay I won’t stay for things left unseen

I can’t stay I won’t stay the end has no means

I can’t stay I won’t stay I know you’re a dream

A sweet sweet dream

You’re a dream

But not my dream
