[00:02.34]Absence Of God
[00:04.70]Rilo Kiley
[00:14.82]The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
[00:21.98]And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
[00:29.19]And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
[00:35.88]Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
[00:42.34]
[00:43.60]We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
[00:50.27]There's no relief for the bleeding heart
[00:53.78]Because they'll be losing bodies tonight
[01:00.84]
[01:01.47]And Rob says you love, love, love, and then you die
[01:08.43]I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
[01:22.46]And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
[01:30.51]But I just keep on getting up again
[01:36.13]
[01:36.65]We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
[01:40.35]We'd never get anything done that way, baby
[01:43.87]And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
[01:50.92]And I'm not my perspective
[01:54.74]Or the lies I'll tell you every time
[01:59.67]
[02:02.07]And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down
[02:09.26]All of your failures are training grounds
[02:16.35]And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised, she says
[02:21.80]As your solitude subsides
[02:26.81]
[02:27.11]And Mike, I'll teach you how to swim
[02:30.59]If you turn the bad in me into good again
[02:36.09]
[03:00.68]And I say there's trouble
[03:03.39]When everything is fine
[03:07.19]The need to destroy things
[03:10.21]Creeps up on me every time
[03:14.34]Just as love's silhouette appears
[03:18.84]I close my eyes and disappear tonight
[03:22.25]
[03:25.12]And something's got to change
[03:29.09]Because our love's the slowest moving train
