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
