God Knows [Remastered] (4:02)

Twenty years ago today
The sky set forth an angel’s face
For the past twenty-four hours
I’ve been sketching you

On this day
Hypocrisy comes screaming out
It grabs my neck
It slaps me across my face
I love you

If I could throw our love up as a star
Where not even I could mess it around
You know I would
If I could shape this stubborn heart of mine
To match your face
God knows I would

We see the holy in each other
We see the grace the beauty but not the real
But this world where we have to live is
So when the Paris sun is smiling down on you
Will you see my face in the clouds?
My god I’ll miss you
My god I miss you now

If I could throw our love up as a star
Where not even I could mess it around
You know I would
If I could shape this stubborn heart of mine
To match your face
God knows I would

Song Notes

The frenetic percussion part of this song (coming from an Alesis D4 drum machine) was largely influenced by the soundtrack of the NES video game, Super Mario Bros. William spent entirely too much of his time playing the game in the early 90’s.
