Resurrect Me - Jon Foreman

It takes a long time to kill a man

Fifty-five years at least

Until he breaks down

Starts to look underground

To go off and get him some peace

I want to die a lot quicker than that

If my it’s my only way out

I’ve been counting up the costs

Getting up on that cross

I want to know what this all about

Father Time

Steals our days

Like a thief

There’s no price that I wouldn’t pay

To get some relief

I’ve become an empty shell

Of a man I don’t like so well

I am a living, breathing hell,

Come on and resurrect me

I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine

It didn’t seem to help

Ah she’s got a pretty face

With her wedding lace

But I’m still waking up with myself

I know what it means to choke it down

Up, down till your legs get weak

I know what it’s like on a Saturday night

To be alone on a crowded street

Father Time

Steals our days

Like a thief

There’s no price that I haven’t paid

To get some relief

I’ve become a shell of a man

I can’t begin to even understand

Have I forgotten who I am?

Come on and resurrect me

Resurrect me

Come on and resurrect me
