Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
[Post-Chorus]
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees
[Verse 1]
Take the pain
Make it billboard big
Then swallow it for me
Time capsule for the future
Trust me, that's what I will be
Oh, the things that you do
In the name of what you love
You are doomed but just enough
You are doomed but just enough
[Chorus]
If you were church, whoo, I'd get on my knees, yeah
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
[Post-Chorus]
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees
[Verse 2]
I love the world
But I just don't love the way it makes me feel
Got a few more fake friends
And it's getting hard to know what's real
And if death is the last appointment
Then we're all just sitting in the waiting room (Mr. Stump?)
I am just a human trying to avoid my certain doom
[Chorus]
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
[Bridge]
I'd get on my knees, yeah, oh
I'd get on my knees, ah ah ah
I'd get on my knees, yeah
I'd get on my knees
[Chorus]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees, yeah
[Intro: Patrick Stump]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees, knees, kne–
[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
Take the pain
Make it billboard big and swallow it for me
Time capsule for the future
Trust me, that's what I will be
Oh, the things that you do in the name of what you love
You are doomed but just enough
You are doomed but just enough
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If you were church, whoo
I'd get on my knees, yeah
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
I love the world but I just don't love the way it makes me feel
Got a few more fake friends
And it's getting hard to know what's real
And if death is the last appointment
Then we're all just sitting in the waiting room (Mr. Stump?)
I am just a human trying to avoid my certain doom
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
[Verse 3: nothing,nowhere.]
Yeah, uh
I need love like anybody else
'Cause Lord knows that I don't love myself
And I'm tired of living in this hell
But I'm scared of seeing you with someone else
Why you gotta do me like that, though?
I've been on the road, then I'm back home
Never knew I could feel that low
Stuck inside looking out the window
And it's too much, feeling too much
Feeling used up, thinking I'ma lose touch
Every time I wake up in the morning, wish I didn't
I've been on my knees praying
And I mean it when I say it
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
I'd get on my –
[Outro: Patrick Stump]
Knees
I'd get on my knees
I'd get on my knees
I'd get on my knees
