We met at a party,
shared a mic for a song,
carved our name in an alley,
and we were set to be married.
And later on the hot springs,
we tried to be a mean dog’s friend.
Ended up just making movies,
and we were set to be endless.
Oh, Johanna, if you think of me,
don’t strain your finite mercy.
I always wanted to be a heretic just like you.
We were stealing bibles.
We were stealing candles.
We were stealing everything
that wasn’t nailed right down to the floor.
That’s when you turned and you asked me,
“How could you forget the latchkey?
How could you forget everything?”
We took the hinges right off of the door.
Oh, Johanna, if you think of me,
don’t strain your finite mercy.
I always wanted to be a heretic just like you.
And I’ve been losing out on my best friend.
I never signed up to be a field medic.
And I’ve been living out on my wit’s end.
I never signed up to be a bedside exorcist.
I never signed up to be anything much at all.
Oh, Johanna, if that’s how it’s gotta be,
don’t strain your finite mercy.
I always wanted to be a heretic just like you.
Oh, Johanna, that’s the mystery.
Don’t strain your finite mercy.
I always wanted to be a heretic just like you.
