Song Description

Saints is about being there for someone you love, even when they sometimes don't love you back.

Lyrics

I was there for yesterday
and I'll be there for years
I'll be there when tomorrow comes to prey upon your fears
I was there when waters rose and took men from their homes
I'll be there when all you have is only who you've known

When all the saints are running from their weakness
And the ministers indulge their inner needs
When the faithful hear the word and join the sinners in the herd

I'll be there when you return to me

I was there for season's change I slept out in the rain
I'll be there when you open up and welcome me again
I was there when network prophets forecasted the end
I'll be there when your man stands up and greets me as a friend

When all the strangers make their introductions
And the law school dropouts leave with their degrees
When the vegans make their kill and regret the blood they've spilled

I'll be there when you return to me

I was there when we first kissed you grinned and threw me out
I'll be at your door to beg for more when I drink away my doubt
I was there for all those nights you turned around my head
I'll be there when you decide to curl up in my bed

When all the troubled youth pack up and leave the ballroom
And the coke heads try and rest their weary eyes
When the whiskey drinkers trade their jack for red wine
And the superstitious recognize their lies

When you're done with all you're routine obligations
And you're jealous friends are all but history
When the boy who was your man turns into something you can't stand

I'll be there when you return to me

I'll be there when you return to me
