Resurrect Me Lyrics - Limbs And Branches - Jon Foreman

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 it's my only way out 

I've been counting up the cost 

getting up on that cross 

I want to know what this is all about 

Father Time/ steals our days 

like a thief 

there's no price/ that I wouldn't pay 

to get some relief 

I've become the 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 

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 until your legs get weak 

I know what it's like 

on a Saturday night 

To be alone in a crowded street 

Father Time steals our days 

like a thief 

There's no price that I haven't 

paid 

to get some relief 

I've become the shell of a man 

I can't begin to even understand 

Have I forgotten who I am? 

come on and resurrect me! 

Resurrect me 

Resurrect me
