[Verse 1]
She’s licking sugar off her thumb
He’s late
Stained shirt
Still playing dumb
Plastic grass stuck to our knees
Laughing too loud
Too close
Too free
[Pre-Chorus]
Your halo’s hanging on the coat rack (oh)
My good intentions in the car out back
Chocolate on your collar
Lipstick on the wine
Tell me you’re a saint one more time
[Chorus]
It’s an Easter come-apart
Baby
Candy-crossed Sunday
Save me
Bodies tangled in the backyard shade
Hiding from the daylight
Unafraid
Say my name like a little half-prayer
Kiss me till there’s glitter in my hair
Oh
We’re sinners dressed in pastel grace
Breaking every rule in this holy place
[Verse 2]
She’s got a basket full of dares
He’s cracking jokes
Then breathing prayers
Eggs cracked open on the floor
Pink confetti on the sliding door
[Pre-Chorus]
Your choir voice whispers in my ear (so sweet)
You talk about redemption
Pull me near
Tulips bending by the garden fence
Every heavy breath a new offense
[Chorus]
It’s an Easter come-apart
Baby
Candy-crossed Sunday
Save me
Bodies tangled in the backyard shade
Hiding from the daylight
Unafraid
Say my name like a little half-prayer
Kiss me till there’s glitter in my hair
Oh
We’re sinners dressed in pastel grace
Breaking every rule in this holy place
[Bridge]
[Band drops to half-time
Toms and bass swell]
M: Do you really wanna rise like this?
F: Do you really wanna taste that bliss? (yeah)
M: Stained fingers
Sweet on your lips
F: Amen
Amen to your sacrilege
Both: We’re not going back inside
Let the good guests wonder why
Coats in piles on the spare-room bed
All our alibis hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
It’s an Easter come-apart
Baby
Candy-crossed Sunday
Save me
Bodies tangled in the backyard shade
Hiding from the daylight
Unafraid
Say my name like a little half-prayer
Kiss me till there’s glitter in my hair
Oh
We’re sinners dressed in pastel grace
Breaking every rule in this holy place
[Outro]
F: Take my hand
We’ll confess at dawn
M: Or sleep it off with the costumes on
Both: Candy-crossed Sunday
Let it stay
Sticky little secret that won’t wash away
