lyrics

No man at all

Rented a video and we watched it all night
in the morning when we rose
all was the same except the snow outside
shaving with dad's razor blades
I don't know if I should go or stay
friends that once were close
now they're so far away
I've been thinking about a girl
but she don't think of me anymore
well maybe if I changed these clothes
changed the words I spoke
if you don't mind I'll quit wasting all my time
trying to hide this man I am inside
to change just to look good in her eyes
well I'd be no man at all
I saw God out the window
through his ghost lips he softly spoke
I couldn't hear what he said though
I was watching my favorite picture show
and I know God's trying to call
but right now I can't hear him at all
in the morning when we rose
I could hear angel's horns softly blow
if you don't mind I'll quit wasting all my time
trying to hide all these doubts I got inside
but to deny this God who gives new life
well I'd be no man at all
