lyrics

You’d been told, but telling pales
next to making things happen.
Oversold, but still on sale,
and all my baiting and switching won’t make us
happy.
Heard that song with brand new ears
and then the razor of Ockham cut
right through unironic tears
and I knew that I was in a rut
and I had to say to you:
that my soul is satisfied,
and my tears are sanctified
because they’re cried for you,
because I have you.
You’re the lightswitch and the lamp
and the power in the first place.
You’re the letter and the stamp
of the message that brought me face to face
with the only truth I need to know:
that my soul is satisfied,
and my tears are sanctified
because they’re cried with you,
because I have you.
How can I repay
the gifts you’ve given me?
Why would I betray
what every cell tells me every day?
Only took me thirteen years
to write you a love song.
Stupid hang-ups, baseless fears
about god-knows-what for far too long,
but now they’re gone away,
and my soul is satisfied,
and my tears are sanctified
because they’re cried for you,
because I have you.
Oh, my soul is satisfied,
and my tears are sanctified
because I cry for you,
because I love you.
