Our Hands

She always thought he was the kind of guy who liked the look but

Couldn't stand the smell of smoke

He always thought she was the kind of girl to script these collective feelings

But she only writes when she's alone

Our hands were washed in broken light

Our hands were stained before His eyes

You found truth in rows of wooden pews

I've found it in the way we move

We've got it figured out; we've got something to prove

To all of you

We feel as if we've found our way through the dimly lit streets and the graves our fathers laid

They all have never felt so free, there's a distinct comfort in belief

We are the kids on front porch steps reminiscing about death

Reflecting on the lives our mothers led

She always thought he was the kind of guy who liked the look but he just liked the smell of smoke

He always thought she was the kind of girl to script these collective feelings

But she knows there are worse things than being alone
