When I walked into the apartment today, there was this song on the cd player that was on repeat. I don’t really want to talk about it, I think the words speak for itself, so read through them. You can go to BLUE LIKE JAZZ WEBSITE and watch an amazing video that goes with this song also. The song is written by Derek Webb (old lead singer of Caedmon’s Call, and writer for Relevant Magazine). Enjoy!
(words and music by derek webb)
if you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift, your life
should that be all i’ll ever need
or is there more i’m looking for
and should i read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
to make me handsome, rich, and wise
is that really what you want
i am a whore i do confess
but i put you on just like a wedding dress
and i run down the aisle
i’m a prodigal with no way home
but i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle to you
so could you love this bastard child
though i don’t trust you to provide
with one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side
i am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers less wild
that i would take a little cash
over your very flesh and blood
because money cannot buy
a husband’s jealous eye
when you have knowingly deceived his wife
