Lyrics My Body - David Bazan

My Body

This feels like a disproportionate amount of longing
More confirmation I was never meant to live alone
All growing up I was banking on the Second Coming
Now I’d be ecstatic if someone would just pick up the phone
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My mind’s been wondering what’s true
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My body might have some good news
Sometimes I have some difficulty keeping money
What compensation could cover up a cut so deep?
Jacob and Esau gonna wrestle with eternal longing
Man just think about something else and it’ll go away
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My mind’s been wondering what’s true
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My body might have some good news
Silhouetted by chaos in this disappointed tone
No it’s fine I can live with it, first a pattern then a whole
«I really don’t want to be here» are seven words I understand
And I’ll be fine
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My mind’s been wondering what’s true
But my body doesn’t believe what my mind believes
My body might have some good news
My body might have some good news
Might have some good news
