Punch Brothers - This Girl lyrics

(Verse 1) Father Father Father It's been a long long time how are you doing? How is your son how are his children? I bet they're just like me You must be tired tired tired Of hearing prayers like mine no need to answer Nobody likes knowing that favors Are all they'll ever be (Chorus) But there's this girl this girl this girl this girl this girl And I'd be the happiest backslider in the world If you would tell her it's your will for us to be together (Verse 2) Father Father Father You've seen me try and try to make her love me I'd sell my soul to hear the one thing She thinks she'll never say But now it's Sunday Sunday Sunday And her pretty voice is rising up to ask you Like I once did like I'm about to If you could show her the way (Chorus) But there's this girl this girl this girl this girl this girl And I'd be the happiest backslider in the world If you would tell her it's your will for us to be together I would never bother you again (Bridge) Father you of all gods ought to know how little to expect from people But I think you might be pleasantly surprised to see what this girl Would bring out of me (Chorus) But there's this girl this girl this girl this girl this girl And I'd be the happiest backslider in the world If you would tell her it's your will for us to be together (Outro) I would never bother you again unless you want me to Hell we'll just both hang out with you in heaven when we die
