[Verse 1] Cheap cider on the Sunday steps Same crew, same stress, same debts Saint in my phone, sinner in my head Say a quick prayer, then I leave it on read Lip split, laugh with the blood on my teeth Scuffed black boots on the cracked concrete Mum says, “church”, but I’m late again Halo in the ash of my latest sin [Chorus] We’re saints and sinners, stuck in the middle Hands to the sky, but we dance in the drizzle Halo heavy, hearts too brittle Still we sing, still we sing We’re saints and sinners, lost in the glitter One step holy, the next one bitter Hold me closer when my faith gets thinner Let me cling, let me cling [Verse 2] I don’t do calm, I just do “cope” Roll that hope till it feels like smoke Angel on my left got a busted wing Devil on my right say, “Do your thing” (do your thing) Flat-line love on the club floor tiles Tears in the taxi, “I’m fine” in denial Try to be pure, end up petty instead Gold cross tangled round a stranger’s bed [Chorus] We’re saints and sinners, stuck in the middle Hands to the sky, but we dance in the drizzle Halo heavy, hearts too brittle Still we sing, still we sing We’re saints and sinners, lost in the glitter One step holy, the next one bitter Hold me closer when my faith gets thinner Let me cling, let me cling [Bridge] If grace is real, it’s got chipped black paint It rides last train home with the girls who faint If heaven’s full, they can take my place I’ll stay down here, make a mess, find grace (find grace) [Chorus] We’re saints and sinners, stuck in the middle Hands to the sky, but we dance in the drizzle Halo heavy, hearts too brittle Still we sing, still we sing We’re saints and sinners, last ones standing Eyes on the stars, both feet crash landing Break that crown, let the light slip thinner Till it’s you, only you, my saint and sinner [Outro] Saints and sinners Fade to whispers Name on my tongue Then it all runs silver
