julien baker & torres - tuesday lyrics

[verse 1: torres, torres & baker]
left georgia for tennessee when i was eighteen
met a girl named tuesday who shined her light on me
she was five foot nine with a storm in her eye
and of all the shoulders on which she could’ve cried
she picked mine
she picked mine

[chorus: torres, torres & baker]
i wish that i hadn’t
stepped down a line
when i acted like it was
nothing to me
and if i could only
go back in time
i’d rewrite our whole story

[verse 2: torres, torres & baker]
well, her mama caught wind
that her daughter’s friend
might be of the wrong persuasion
next thing i know, her mama’s calling
telling her daughter
just the thought of it made her sick over the toilet
instead of backing me up, tuesday melted right down
asked me to write her mother and say, “sorry for the confusion
but of course there had been no sin”
to emphasize how much i love jesus
and men
[chorus: torres, torres & baker]
now i wish that i hadn’t
stepped down a line
when i acted like it was
nothing to me
’cause that night, for the first time
i took a knife
to the paper+thin
skin on my arm
oh my lord, oh my christ
is this the end?
heard myself cry
from the tiles
but that was all [?]
closing in
i [?] surely endure
you should too

[verse 3: torres, torres & baker]
tuesday, now i hardly think of you
but when i do i only think of shame
girl i tell ya, if i could do it again
i sure as h+ll wouldn’t do it the same

[chorus: torres, torres & baker]
no, i cannot believe that
i stepped down that line
i should have told you
you, i loved you
now i know that
your shame is not mine
and i am perfect
in my lord’s eyes
[outro: torres]
for a decade, i let you live in my head
but with this exorcism, i put our story to bed
one more thing: if you ever hear this song
tell your mama she can go suck an egg
