He's the universe the love you've been imagining
Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord

And I am ashes, I am Jesus, I am precious
Could I be your girl, Could I be your girl

Put a chair against the door and turn the lights down low
Write a letter to yourself no-one will ever know 
Tell them all about the girl who just refused to fall
Oh my Lord

He is the very breath you feel inside your lungs at night
He is the bitter wind who's drying up your appetite
He is the darkness that seeps into your fading light 
Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord

And I am ashes, I am Jesus, I am precious
Could I be your girl, Could I be your girl 
I am worthless sounds compared to all your perfect words 
Could I be your girl, Could I be your girl

Wash the angels from your hair you won't need them anymore 
Hide your heart under the bed and lock your secret drawer
Love is the demon and you're the one he's coming for 
Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord 
Could I be your girl, Could I be your girl
