📜 Lyrics
I have not been writing that many new songs
How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone
You have not been writing me as often as I wished
And sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed
I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded market place, in a town I can't recall
And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
But my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false
Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store, in that shopping mall
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far enough
To give you a call, give you a call
I have not been writing as often as I'd hoped
But there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control
You have not been visiting, I can't say that I mind
'Cause every time you go somewhere, you leave somewhere behind
And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded market place whose name I can't recall
And the teller told me that I would be lying and I would fall
But I didn't think he meant so soon, so soon at all
Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store, in that shopping mall
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call
So I'm calling now but it says I don't got the number right
Your body looks to me a way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad and what you did this for?
She said, "Your body looks to me a way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad?
And I can't do this anymore"
I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
In the back of a liquor store, in that mini mall
You found religion when you realized you could fall
Now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call
So you're calling now
But I lie and I tell you that I moved
Everything's brand new
How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone
You have not been writing me as often as I wished
And sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed
I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded market place, in a town I can't recall
And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
But my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false
Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store, in that shopping mall
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far enough
To give you a call, give you a call
I have not been writing as often as I'd hoped
But there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control
You have not been visiting, I can't say that I mind
'Cause every time you go somewhere, you leave somewhere behind
And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
In a crowded market place whose name I can't recall
And the teller told me that I would be lying and I would fall
But I didn't think he meant so soon, so soon at all
Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar store, in that shopping mall
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call
So I'm calling now but it says I don't got the number right
Your body looks to me a way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad and what you did this for?
She said, "Your body looks to me a way it never has before

And I can't do this anymore"
I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
In the back of a liquor store, in that mini mall
You found religion when you realized you could fall
Now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call
So you're calling now
But I lie and I tell you that I moved
Everything's brand new
