New Religion is a deeply personal track about guilt and reconciliation exclusive to this EP, it will not feature on Could You Let it Go.
lyrics
I didn’t know my darling,
How you could see it through,
‘Cause you were feigning heartless,
And I was being cruel.
Now, we’re in the darkness,
I’m falling into you,
And, babe, I know it’s hard but,
I thank the stars I’m seeing you.
At the altar, on my knees,
Pray for you, you’ll pray for me,
When you’re around me I can’t breathe,
You’re a holy ghost indeed.
This isn’t right ‘cause you’re not the type,
To put your arms around me,
Praying, waiting for the sun to rise.
I’m seeing things, these visions,
Of villains in their houses,
You’re surrounded by my bad decision,
And it was mine and my selfish pride.
And, though it’s dark around us,
Babe, I’ve found it, you’re my new religion.
Baby, I’ve been thinking,
About the circumstance,
And I know I should listen,
To the things you have at hand.
But I don’t think it’s ending,
Don’t think it ever will.
And, while we’re still pretending,
I’m your friend - come get your fill.
At the altar, on my knees,
Pray for you, you’ll pray for me,
When you’re around me I can’t breathe,
‘Cause you’re a holy ghost indeed.
This isn’t right, you’re not the type,
To put your arms around me,
Praying, waiting for the sun to rise.
I’m seeing things, these visions,
Of villains in their houses,
You’re surrounded by my bad decision,
And it was mine and my selfish pride.
And, though it’s dark around us,
Babe, I’ve found it, you’re my new religion.
I don’t know if this is nirvana,
It’s like the clouds descend upon ya,
All of these sounds chip on your armour,
But, babe, I’ll love you till you’re gone.
I don’t know what the world was thinking,
You don’t deserve the hurt you live in.
My darling, you’re my new religion,
And, babe, I’ll love you till you’re gone.
This isn’t right, you’re not the type,
To put your arms around me,
Praying, waiting for the sun to rise.
I’m seeing things, these visions,
Of villains in their houses,
You’re surrounded by my bad decision,
And it was mine and my selfish pride.
And, though it’s dark around us,
Babe, I’ve found it, you’re my new religion.
Babe, I’ve found it, yeah, babe, I’ve found it,
And, though it’s dark around us,
Babe, I’ve found it, you’re my new religion.
Babe, I’ve found it, yeah, babe, I’ve found it,
And, though it’s dark around us,
Babe, I’ve found it, you’re my new religion.
