[Chorus]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, I'd get on my knees

[Post-Chorus]
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees

[Verse 1]
Take the pain, make it billboard
Big and swallow it for me
Time capsule for the future
Trust me, that's what I will be
Oh, the things that you do in the
Name of what you love
You are doomed but just enough
You are doomed but just enough

[Chorus]
If you were church, whoo, I'd get on my knees, yeah
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees

[Post-Chorus]
I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees, I'd get on my knees

[Verse 2]
I love the world, but I just don't love the
Way it makes me feel
Got a few more fake friends and
It's getting hard to know what's real
And if death is the last appointment
Then we're all just sitting in the waiting room (Mr. Stump?)
I am just a human trying to
Avoid my certain doom

[Chorus]
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees

[Bridge]
I'd get on my knees, yeah, oh
I'd get on my knees, ah ah ah
I'd get on my knees, yeah
I'd get on my knees

[Chorus]
If you were church, I'd get on my knees
Confess my love, I'd know where to be
My sanctuary, you're holy to me, you're holy to me
If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees, yeah

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
