Jon Foreman Resurrect Me Lyrics

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

- Chorus -

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

- Chorus -

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
