White Palms Lyrics

Jesus, when you coming back?
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
Never should have run away

I wanna go home

Jesus, when you going to come back?
Jesus, when you going to come back?
Jesus, I dare you to come back
Jesus, when you going to come back home?

The Devil seems to climb inside
Walk in through my open eyes
Never should have ever shown
And he's all I've ever known

Jesus, when you coming back?
He's never coming back
You'll never take me back
We're never going home

I wanna go home

Jesus, when you going to come back?
Jesus, when you going to come back?
Jesus, I dare you to come back
Jesus, I dare you to come back home

Jesus, when you coming back?
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus, seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
I never should have run away

I wanna go home

Jesus, when you going to come back?
Jesus, I dare you to come back
Jesus, I beg you to come back
Jesus when you going to come back home?

<i>[muted mumbling and laughter</i>

I wouldn't come back, if I had been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back, if I had been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back, if I had been Jesus
I'm the kinda... <i>[fades out]</i>

The songs rythm makes me think of summer. The lyrics make me think of Jesus. I guess.

Sounds very similiar to The Verve's Butterfly, more in the bass line than anything. But overall, "Jesus" is given a drug-dealing like personae in the lyrics, like the lamentation is craving the next fix. Brilliant band and songs!

Yeah id agree with Heethan about the drug dealer connection. Using Jesus as a metaphor he is using a person who has the power to cure disease and relieve pain. Just like a drug dealer to a junkie.

Yep reminds me heavy of the Verve

if I have to take it at it's literal meaning...its a mockery of Christ...(taunting him to come back to Earth).

But the drug references are indeed intriguing... I've always loved the bass line on this one..

Great tune.
