Jon Foreman Resurrect Me lyrics

It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down starts to look underground
And go off and get him some peace

I want to die a lot quicker than that
If it's my only way out
I've been counting up the cost, getting up on that cross
Wanna know what this is all about

Father time steals our days like a thief
There's no Christ that I wouldn't pay to get some relief
I've become the empty shell of a man I like so well
I am a living breathing hell, come on and resurrect me

I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn't seem to help
Oh, she's got a pretty face with a wedding lace

But I'm still waking up with myself

I know what it means to choke it down
Driving 'til your legs get weak
I know what it's like on a Saturday night
To be alone in a crowded street

Father time steals our days like a thief
There's no Christ that I haven't paid to get some relief
I've become the shell of a man I can't begin to even understand
Have I forgotten who I am? Come on and resurrect me

Resurrect me, resurrect me
Resurrect me, resurrect me
Resurrect me, come on and resurrect me
