Amen used to mean something

Hymns We Recite from "The Deleted Scenes Album"
by Scholic

Lyrics:

Prelude:
Amen used to mean something

Verse 1:
We pray in groceries now,
“Do we need milk?” “We’re out of bread.”
Your hand brushes mine in frozen foods,
And it’s liturgy instead

Verse 2:
We stole that car, drove into stars,
Now we signal before we turn
My wild boy learned the speed limit,
Oh, how the embers learn

Chorus:
These are the hymns we recite,
No melody, just the motion
Blessed be the quiet goodnights,
Blessed be the devotion

Verse 3:
Your laugh is still a church bell,
But it rings at 7 AM
Not at midnight, not in secret,
Just over coffee. Again

Bridge:
When did worship become routine?
When did holy become habit?
Darling, say my name like a sin,
Not a sentence you’ve memorized

Chorus:
These are the hymns we recite,
No melody, just the motion
Blessed be the quiet goodnights,
Blessed be the devotion

Outro:
Amen. Again. Amen
