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
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
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 Cristobal
now I feel that I've come far enough
to 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

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 I didn't think he meant so soon
not 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 Cristobal
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 the back of a 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.
