[Verse 1]
You press my back into your bedroom wall
Streetlight halos on your body fall
On your shoulders like a borrowed crown
You’re the only gospel that can pin me down
You drag your fingers down my guilty neck
Counting every sin you haven’t claimed yet
Kiss my jaw like you’re anointing skin
Murmur, “On your knees, let the service begin”
[Pre‑Chorus]
You say my name like a prayer you own
Hand on my chest like a carved headstone
“Open up, confess it nice and slow
Tell me everywhere you want this night to go”
[Chorus]
You preach a sermon at your hip, I’m shaking
Every inch of you a hymn I’m breaking
You run the service, I just obey
Body like incense, I rise when you say
You’ve got my halo caught against your thighs
Make a worshipper out of all my lies
I’m not forgiven till you pull that string
You’re my church, my sin, my sovereign thing
[Verse 2]
You trace a cross over my bitten lips
Say, “Don’t move till I move my hips”
Tie my patience to the headboard rails
Make a rosary of all my fails
You count to nine then never say ten
Hold me right there on the edge again
Your quiet louder than a choir’s roar
You’re the only heaven I’m begging for
[Pre‑Chorus]
You keep me hovering in your eclipse
Breath on my ear like apocalypse
Soft, “Don’t you fall till I decree”
You write revelation straight into me
[Chorus]
You preach a sermon at your hip, I’m shaking
Every inch of you a hymn I’m breaking
You run the service, I just obey
Body like incense, I rise when you say
You’ve got my halo caught against your thighs
Make a worshipper out of all my lies
I’m not forgiven till you pull that string
You’re my church, my sin, my sovereign thing
[Bridge]
“Look at me, don’t close your eyes”
While you turn my tremors into tithes
Every second that you make me wait
Feels like fasting at your gate
You bless my scars with bitten grace
Leave your psalms along my waist
Every mark you script into my skin
Feels like worship I keep falling back in
[Breakdown – soft / whispered]
Slow hands, no mercy
You decide when I’m worthy
Hold me right on the line
Till you breathe, “Now… you’re mine”
[Outro]
You keep me waiting underneath your eyes
I find my faith again at your hip every time ….. like a sermon
