lyrics

I sent my resumé to god
in MLA and 12 point font
my awards are all in order and my references are pretty strong

my bullets points: concise, and now my grammar's fixed and typo's found
I'm hopin' if she sees it I have made my English teacher proud

and I've done my share of charity
but left out the profanities
I know that he's a busy guy and maybe won't remember these

the omnipotent editor knows all the trick by now I'm sure
but first impressions stick so I am leading with my best foot first

So now I wait for the response
a call from my potential boss
did I apply 'cause I am lost?
Is it too late to call it off?

I didn't know I had an answer for this question 'till I asked
But now that I am set in motion all I want's a second chance
Take it Back.

I’m flinching as I check the mail
and flip through bills and grocery sales
I throw out all the clutter, understand that it can’t help me now

But there it is, I’ve finally heard ‘cause in my hands: the holy word
The envelop is gold and it’s addressed to: “whom it may concern”

And I’m too scared
To look inside
With shaking hands
And fading eyes

But nothing now can change at all the contents of this envelop
It's best I get this over with cause ignorance won't save my soul

And I read the words one at a time
But can't get past the leading line
My eyes refocus, open wide...
“Your application's been denied”.

I didn't know I had an answer for this question 'till I asked
But now that I may never have it, all I want's a second chance
Take it Back.

“Your Applications been denied
we can’t accept you at this time
we’ll keep your paperwork on file
we’ll reach back out when it’s your time.

we know that life can seem so cruel
that’s why today is just too soon
you still have so much left to do --
The world’s not ready to lose you

so many lives to still impact
some still have yet to cross your path
we know that it’s a lot to ask
please learn your worth, and take it back”

Take it back.

I Take It Back.
