delikately - ode to keatsian religion lyrics

Loading...

you left your umbrella in my foyer
the one with the splintered spine and oxford stripes
i made room for it on the coat rack
right beside your theoretical fidelity

you never called me yours
but i updated my email signature just in case
“warm regards
the girl who’d gladly be your thesis disaster”

oh, i’m still kneeling on your welcome mat
like it’s all unpaid bills and bad habits
call it religion or just bad taste in men
first editions and commitment issues

oh, you said “this isn’t church”
but i’ll bring wine and a sin i can’t shake
i’ll cross myself when your name shows up

left you notes in philosophy’s aisle
if love’s a keatsian religion
i’m canonized — girl who tried
your indifference, an altar
i light candles to it every night

you never called me yours
but i rewrote my voicemail in your cadence
“best wishes
the girl who mistook debate club for intimacy”

oh, i’m still kneeling on your welcome mat
like it’s all unpaid bills and bad habits
call it religion or just bad taste in men
first editions and commitment issues

oh, you said “this isn’t church”
but i’ll bring wine and a sin i can’t shake
i’ll cross myself when your name shows up

keats wrote: “i could die for you”
and honestly, i almost did
on the stairs you held the door at
was it gallantry?
or state+mandated courtesy?

either way, i saw god
he looked like you
in a barbour jacket

oh, i’m still kneeling on your welcome mat
like it’s hallowed ground for poor judgment
you were always more myth than man
i just gave it a syllabus
you said, “this isn’t love”
but i still bring candles
and a quiet psalm
to the church of your elbow on my pillow

if this is faith
then i’ve backslid tastefully
and if keats can die for a girl
who barely replied
then maybe this is holy too
