Lyrics
You're the good part of me, you're the quiet amen
You're the saint in the dust motes, again and again
You're the holy ghost living in my apartment's drywall
And I should've said something, should have said it all
[Verse 1]
The loose thread you pull on your CTA Ventra card
While the Pink Line rattles the whole damn boulevard
It's the Tuesday in December when the wind gets mean
And the air smells like exhaust fumes and cheap gasoline
[Verse 2]
The way your laughter cracks on a half-finished joke
The Marlboro Red that you bummed off some bloke
You looked at me and said, "God, I hate this town"
And for half a second, I didn't wanna burn it down
[Chorus]
You're the good part of me, you're the quiet amen
You're the saint in the dust motes, again and again
You're the holy ghost living in my apartment's drywall
And I should've said something, should have said it all
[Bridge]
I catalog the proof like a thrift-store evangelist
Memorize the gospel written on your fist
I built an altar for you out of hypocrisy and bone
Guess it's better to worship you quiet and alone
[Outro]
Yeah, I built you an altar...
...and said nothing at all.
