about

This song's about how hard it probably was to be Jesus. Good guy, that one.

lyrics

I bet Christ must have seemed cold
Cause you’d really have to be
To truly love everyone
You’d need a bird’s-eye view

Stay out of the trenches
Only let ‘em touch your feet
Only let ‘em know your bloody heart
In the wine they drink
And the bread they eat
Go away
And hope they still believe you when you say

Oh, I am here
Oh, I am here

I have watched, as if through glass,
My heart rewrite the truth
Some lies for you, more for myself
They are my favorite kind

But if I were cold, as cold as Christ
I could finally tell it straight
All the love, all the hurt
All the shit that I couldn’t bring myself to say
Then I’d open my arms and call your name

Oh, I am here
Oh, I am here
Oh, I am here
Oh, I am here

Lauren's originals are fantastic, too, but the covers are a great way to fall under her spell. Tommy Wallach

Songwriter Ben Davis (full disclosure: he helped me with my record) combines catchy melodies with crazy sonic meanderings. The rest of the band is tight as an "insert offensive joke here." Tommy Wallach
