Her Parents

We stood in
Your parent's kitchen
They closely watched
And listened

For unchristian behavior

I phoned twice
I missed you both times
I stopped by

Your Father said, "nice try."

Your parents were married
To some strange story
About how the world began
And how the world will end
They required me to believe with them

If they only knew
What I had to say to you
Would not have judged

Like the good book says not to

Your parents were married
To some strange story
That I had this big plan
To steal you away from them
They got in the way
Never had my chance to say...

I can't bear to lose you
I am on my knees
The whole world is changing
Please don't change on me
I can tell you secrets
I can share stories
I am far from perfect
But I'm closest when you're beside me...
