Sunday Skin

[Verse 1]
Knees on the cushion
Eyes on the cross
But I keep watching his hands
Tracing that worn prayer cloth
Wedding band shining
But my mind slides off
Lip on the communion cup
Thinking how fast it’d come off (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m saying “amen” with my Sunday smile
But I’m undressing you in every aisle
Holy words rolling off my tongue
All I taste is sin when the choir starts sung
I’m praying
Shaking in this second-hand pew
God forgive these thoughts I have about you
[Verse 2]
Page in the hymnal
Stuck to my palm
Every “peace be with you”
Hits me a little too strong
Your shoulder brushes
And the room goes loud
Incense and your cologne
Pulling me out of the crowd
[Chorus]
I’m saying “amen” with my Sunday smile
But I’m undressing you in every aisle
Holy words rolling off my tongue
All I taste is sin when the choir starts sung
I’m praying
Shaking in this second-hand pew
God forgive these thoughts I have about you
[Bridge]
I’m a good girl
Till the lights dim low
When the candles flicker
Every promise feels hollow
If I fall from grace
Let it be in your arms
If I’m going to hell
I’ll go for your charms (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m saying “amen” with my Sunday smile
But I’m undressing you in every aisle
Holy words rolling off my tongue
All I taste is sin when the choir starts sung
I’m praying
Shaking in this second-hand pew
God forgive these thoughts I have about you
