Unguarded Moment

The Church · Other Songs - The Church

So hard

Finding inspiration

I knew you'd find me crying

Tell those girls with rifles for minds

That their jokes don't make me laugh

They only make me feel like dying

In an unguarded moment



So long

Long between mirages

I knew you'd find me drinking

Tell those men with horses for arms

That their jokes don't make me bleed

They only make me feel like shrinking

In an unguarded moment



So deep

Deep without a meaning

I knew you'd find me leaving

Tell those friends with cameras for eyes

That their hands don't make me hang

They only make me feel like breathing

In an unguarded moment

(In an unguarded moment)
