Son of God Lyrics by Will Butler

Policy

2015

[Verse 1]
I've been here forever in the cold
Waiting in the weather while you go out searching for our gold
But nothing lasts forever I've been told
Nothing lasts forever, oh, but some of this shit's gettin' pretty old
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would come down and tell me what to do, to my face, now
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would write it down for me in his own handwriting
Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good
I swear I'd be good
[Verse 2]
But still you don't believe me
As if I would be lyin', as if I were a suspect
As if I were not crying, as if I was not forgiven
For my sins, as if the mirror's broken
And I would get no chance on that side again
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would come down and tell me what to do, to my face, now
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would write it down for me in his own handwriting
Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good
I swear I'd be good
[Bridge]
Softly and so sweetly, whisper near
Softly and so sweetly, because you never know who's gonna overhear
Well, if you're gonna shame me, say my name
And if you're gonna blame, well then, lay the blame
Lay the blame
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would come down and tell me what to do, to my face, now
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
Would write it down for me in his own handwriting
Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good
I swear I'd be good
