Lyric I Thought You Were God

Storeman, your eyes all watery white.
"Another long long night?" and you say
"Be careful riding that boy s bike in the dark."
"Don t worry, I m not going far."

I was very very young and terribly in love
and not yet knowing that love alone may not be enough
to undo all the silly things I thought.
I thought you were God.

The night sky is peeling back her sheets.
The linen is lavender and underneath it I ride you bike.
The bike bar s cutting into my crotch.
I stand up and power-pedal on.

I was very very young and terribly in love,
not yet knowing that love alone may not be enough
to counter all the stupid things I thought.
I thought you were God.
I believed in you.

We still talk, we still talk a lot since the alarming discovery
that you were never God and we still love,
but the laughter s more sincere,
cause it s speckled with your tears.

You were so young and terribly in love,
not yet knowing that love alone may not be enough
to undo all the secret things I thought.

I thought you were God.
