Matt Nathanson - Church Clothes Lyrics

Spent more than my share on temptation,
trying to cool my swollen tongue.
I gorge myself on all that free goodwill,
and left the others none.

What I wear like church clothes,
you wear just like jewellery.
All the simple things you revel in,
they just suffocate me.
I don't know anymore,
wish someone would tell me who to be.
Cause I am ready, I am ready to try anything.

I'm dazzled by glamour and camera angles.
The drama and swagger of fools.
Sacrifice beauty once,
to chase after their parade.
Spent my morning after crawling back to you.

What I wear like church clothes,
you wear just like jewellery.
All the simple things you revel in,
they just suffocate me.
I don't know anymore,
wish someone would tell me who to be.
Cause I am ready, I am ready to try anything.

I wanna be brand new.
I wanna trade in these wings;
they don't work like yours do.

What I wear like church clothes,
you wear just like jewellery.
All the simple things you revel in,
they just suffocate me.
I don't know anymore,
wish someone would tell me who to be.
Cause I am ready, I am ready to try anything.
I am ready, I am ready to try anything.
I am ready, I am ready to try anything.

I wanna trade in these wings;
they don't work like yours do.
