Oh My God Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your nametag on it
Drifting apart like a plate tectonic

[Refrain]
It don't matter to me
'Cause all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

[Verse 2]
Too much time spent dragging the past up
I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
Settling down in your early twenties
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist

[Refrain]
It don't matter to me
'Cause all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

[Chorus]
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
[Verse 3]
Great ruins make for a greater glory
The only thing growing is our history
Knock me down, I'll get right back up again
I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man

[Refrain]
It don't matter to me
'Cause all I wanted to be
Was a million miles from here
Somewhere more familiar

[Chorus]
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And, oh my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from—
