All that's Holy

we could talk for hours
she and i
we would talk about god
(and if she were writing this she'd have put a big "G" on that word)
she'd try to convince me to stop sleeping with boys
and i'd try to convince her
that like santa, god was not real to me
she would talk about sin and wrongful pleasures of the skin
i kept thinkin' that she'd change her mind
if she found a good christian boy to show her how skin could feel...
we never could agree
for us there was no middle ground between living in sin and basking in all that is holy
we were good at covering the tension with laughter
and despite all opposition, our friendhsip grew stronger
she never stopped reading the bible and praying to the big man upstairs
and i never dampened my skepticism
but we can still talk for hours
she and i
we talk about god
(and if she had written this she'd have but a big "G" on that word)
