listen to the mp3
there’s a voice in my head muttering, “God, no”
there’s a voice in my head shouting, “i told you so”
and all of my choices have led me to this
imagine all chances i’ve missed
to make something of what i’ve seen
but i let hope get the best of me
i let hope get the best of me
and the truth is i can’t really see
what is or is not best for me
my deepest feelings
my secret dreams
love is the ocean
but i drown in the streams
all of my choices have led me to this
God, you know everything i’ve missed
when i let hope get the best of me

i’m useless
i’m sad and ashamed
i’d rather shed selfish tears
than speak Your name
but nothing around here
reminds me of You
taking a scapel to myths
i wanted to be true
but i won’t sing those songs
unless i mean amazing grace
but more than your voice
i want You to put me in my place
i’m thirsty, Lord
give me a taste (of the reason for pain) i’ll go on again
i’m thirsty, Lord
lift up my chin in this rain
i’ve heard it said before
thinking men get nothing done
when i finally find the will to fight
i find the enemies won
but i survive, and they look down
i’m all wrapped up in my hypocrisy
forgive me for falling so far
and taking Your name down with me
thank You for the drought
You knew a flood would have me think
that i deserve these gifts
when i’m just begging for a drink

i don’t know why
you’re lonely tonight
if it were up to me
you’d be happy
they say that you need to trust
they say it like it’s easy
but i know how hard it is
to believe
they say gettin’ all you want
won’t make you happy in the end
but what if all you want
is to be happy with a friend?

listen to the mp3
watch the water claim the valley
hear all the rainmaker’s brag
we finally got what we asked for
now we can’t give it back
like a scar on young skin
we will pay for our mistakes
thunder rumbles
as the last time crumbles
nature is more thief than giver
another town joins the river

listen to the mp3
heaven, i’m hiding in the garden
ashamed of what i’ve given away
i’m only a slave to strong emotion
crouching in the darkness of day
drag me out to face You
for sins i can’t deny
but You call me, You invite me
You let me choose to lie
overtake me and break me
put me together again
overtake me and break me
put me together again
heaven, i’d running far from you
chasing the desires of my heart
i’m afraid that all the plans i made
won’t save me when we’re apart
i’ve come to think that it’s my way
to chase the passion calling me
but it’s you who’s whispering my name
relentlessly
