I said you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re the woman from last night
standing just to my right
you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re the one that said I was sweet
when I let you kiss my cheek
and said we could hook up sometime maybe
well now is a good a time as any
she said I don¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯t mean to offend you
but you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re not quite how I remembered you
you seemed to look a lot better then
but I think you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re nice
as a friend
so pull up a seat and sit down
we¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re just having a drink and hanging out
so I tried to play it sexy and hurt
she said I came across as an introvert
so I changed to being a deep and profound
until she asked me if I was feeling down
and when I told her that I was well read
she looked at me and just said ** **
you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ x3
whatever it is I¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯m not buying
so I phoned her that weekend
she said she¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯s seeing a barman called jonathan
he wears nice clothes and keeps his hair neat
but I could give her a call back next week
so next week we¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re out to coffee
she tells me she¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯s really gone off
i say gone off me ? hey you don¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯t know me
she said exactly
so don¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯t phone me
I said you haven¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯t even given this a chance
she smiled and looked with a glance and said **
you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ x3
whatever it is I¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯m not buying
you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re trying too hard but keep trying¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ x3
whatever it is I¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯m not buying
when is this loneliness gonna end and
when will they stoSometimes I believe all the lies
So I can do the things I should despise
And every day I am swayed
By whatever is on my mind
I hear it all depends on my faith
So I'm feeling precarious
The only problem I have with these mysteries
Is they're so mysterious
And like a consumer I've been thinking
If I could just get a bit more
More than my 15 minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure
(Chorus)
My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace
I've begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leperous hand
And lions resting lazily
A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I've seen so much
I explained it away
Chorus
Waters rose as my doubts reigned
My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
Found myself standing on your grace
It'd been there all the time
(Chorus repeated)
Stand on grace
