I'll begin. I know you're scared. No one told you then "Be this". Feeling frail. With so much to bare. I know it's not fair. But what is. . When push starts shoving.
Stay away from me. Cause I'll be gone soon. It's just so hard to let go once we've grabbed hold. It's nothing that you've done. You're not the only one.
I'm waiting on faith and compromise. I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight. As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise. . You called me without warning.
These weeds keep poppin up. I thought I'd killed them all last week. Cause I dowsed them with this poison. Whose label read extra strength. But sure enough they're still there.
Windows down, the night blows in. Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin. Until we're there crank the radio. We'll join in with the songs we know.
There's no need to worry, baby. We could leave it behind. Most of my troubles are self-created. They just live in my mind. . Chorus: (2x). Why do we try.
Everclose. Have I come. To touching you. To seeing the one. . Everclose. Is my hand to yours. My fingers outstretched. Blinded by the Son. . Free me (Prison bound).
I tried leaving you at home. But every thought returns to you. My head it seems to roam. No matter what I do. . You know it's late right now. And every song sings of us.
So the stage is set, the stars and moon above. I've come so far to get here, baby, look at us. I'm as nervous now as I was back then. . Staring back at me in that white summer dress.
Today is gonna be the day. I'll find the words I need to say. Cause there ain't any other way. To tell you how I'm feeling. . This is where I've always turned.
Never been much good on my own. So I'm tryin' to find somebody else. Never been good at findin' much except. Loneliness all by myself. Spottin' you ain't been easy.
I am consumed with thoughts of you. My entire being won't rest until these feelings do. Why do I do this all the time. Jump in head first forgetting the divine.
And I know you're weary. I know you're worn. And I know your broken hearts been torn. And I see you weeping. I know your fears. But I am the smile at the end of the tears.
Tennessee, January. Everything, ordinary. You're unlike anything I've seen. Is this how I really feel?. Or just another heart to steal. To fuel the song that's underneath.
Listen close. The monuments are whispering your name. I'm standing strong. Knowing that we'll never be the same. It's getting hard to fake. CHORUS:. But as you go your own way.
See I don't know what I should do now,. And I've exhausted all the know how.. Still all of my efforts, they fail me,. Leaving me broken and empty.. . I can't go on.
Cause I don't know what I should do now. When I've exausted all I know how. Still all of my efforts, they fail me. Leaving me broken and empty. I can't go on, half living this life on my own.
Back in June, when we were so young,. It's gone too soon, before our love was done.. We had a chance to make it happen,. We had a chance to love somehow..
I don't know how the stars hang. Or how there's night and then there's day. I dont know how you spoke into the black. And made it all obey. . All I know is the bleeding in my heart.
I'm turning clouds into mountains. Like water into sweet wine. I'm closing the mouths of lions. Just around suppertime. . I'm turning gravel roads into golden highways.
