White lines on the highway looking out across the
landscape
My eyes see your finger prints see all that all that your
hands made
It should have been a dead give away
These reflections that you give us to show us your face
And I get lost I get lost I get lost in it all
I've made up my mind, I'm yours and your mine and I'm
telling you this time
Nothings gonna change that
Looking out from the airplane looking down on your
landscape
My eyes see your finger prints see all that all that your
hands made
It should have been a dead give away
These reflections that you give us to show us your face
And I get lost I get lost I get lost in it all
I've made up my mind, I'm yours and your mine and I'm
telling you this time
Nothings gonna change that
And If I run from you I know you'll rescue me
Cause my heart is your for always.
Burning everything I'm learning,
Light a match, because I don't get it yet.
Shake out the mistakes that I've made.
Swallaw them down, is it more than I can take, when You call my name to walk on water?
(Chorus)
You are the waves that I feel when I'm sinking.
You are the storms that I feel when I'm dying.
You are God, You are God, and I Know, I know, I know, I know.
You are God, You are God, I know, I know.
See You there standing on the shoreline,
watching me out here as I'm taking on the storm.
I want You, and I need You.
Do You hear me?
Because I hear You, when You call my name to walk on water.
(Chorus)
You are the waves that I feel when I'm sinking.
You are the storms that I feel when I'm dying.
You are God, You are God, and I Know, I know, I know, I know.
You are God, You are God, I know, I know.
I feel You touching me, I feel You touching me,
I feel You touching me, I feel You touching me.
(Chorus 2x)
You are the waves that I feel when I'm sinking.
You are the storms that I feel when I'm dying.
You are God, You are God, and I Know, I know, I know, I know.
Lately I?m thinking that I don?t feel quite like myself
And honestly I feel like I?ve turned into somebody else
?Cause You could change me like nothing else ever could
You could love me like no one else ever would
The world keeps moving, I just keep standing still
Look at all You?re doing, nothing could fill my heart
The world keeps moving and I just keep standing still
Look at all You?re doing, nothing could fill my heart
Like You do, like You do, oh, like You do
When You uncover my eyes, I see You plain as daylight
And You?re working all around me, creation speaks so loudly
?Cause You could change me like nothing else ever could
You could love me like no one else ever would
The world keeps moving and I just keep standing still
Look at all You?re doing, nothing could fill my heart
The world keeps moving and I just keep standing still
Look at all You?re doing, nothing could fill my heart
Like You do, like You do, oh, like You do
And they can?t love me like You do
There ain?t nobody quite like You
And they can?t love me, there?s nobody
The world keeps moving and I just keep standing still
Look at all You?re doing, nothing could fill my heart
The world keeps moving and I just keep standing still
I don't have the heart, I don't have the words
I don't have the song to make you feel like I do right
There's not much love, left here to give
If there ever was, I wasted it away
I'm so tired of screwing things up,
Open my mouth and hurt everyone
And I just wanted you to know I don't want to, I don't
want to
There is no cause, to feel this way, anything I've asked
for, you've given it to me
I don't have the right, to do you wrong, so I wrote this
song to sing myself to sleep.
I'm so tired of screwing things up,
Open my mouth and hurt everyone
And I just wanted you to know I don't want to, I don't
Up again watching late night TV
When I should be asleep
Gotta work in the morning
Wish I was there next to Letterman's chair
Or waiting backstage
Ready to play
?Cause I'm burning every single dream
That's ever crossed my heart
And I'm ready to start
Secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
I wanna know is this for real?
?Cause I'm secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
And I wanna know is this for real?
And I wanna be what You want
I wanna do what You want
Wanna be only Yours
?Cause I give You all that I am
Give You all that I was
Give You all that I'm supposed to be
Some thing's gonna have to give in
I can't keep on living
On V Street with the faces that I see
And I'm burning every single dream
That's ever crossed my heart
And I'm ready to start
Secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
I wanna know is this for real?
?Cause I'm secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
I wanna know is this for real?
Secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
I wanna know is this for real?
?Cause I'm secondhand dreaming
I swear I'm barely breathing
We're selling our cars and our guitars
Just to give this another round
No one ever wanted to be big stars
Just to pick ourselves up off the ground
And we're rolling with the punches
We'll give you anything you ask for
It's all yours if you want it
You take it all so selflessly
It's all yours if you want it
So take it, so take it
Living in a van can be so hard
When you're miles away from home
Driving down the highway in the dark
And you're feeling all alone
But, were rolling with the punches
We'll give you anything you ask for
It's all yours if you want it
You take it all so selflessly
It's all yours if you want it
So take it, so take it
And I don?t want to talk to anyone but You
And tell You what I feel and the things I'm going through
And I wanna be blind to the things that drag me down
And I wanna be blind, I don't wanna sell out
?Cause You are more than I could ever pretend
To know the, the first thing about love and what it means
And I will hold on to Your words forever
To know You, to see You, to touch You
You're all I want, You're all I need
And I can't ride this fence, it's tearing me apart
One foot in, one foot out, I can't keep this straight now
And I wanna be blind to the things that drag me down
And I wanna be blind, I don't wanna sell out
?Cause You are more than I could ever pretend
To know the, the first thing about love and what it means
And I will hold on to Your words forever
To know You, to see You, to touch You
You're all I want and You're all I need
I'll do anything You want me to, I promise
Tell you what You wanna hear
If You just let me stay here with You forever
It's where I wanna be
Wanna know You, wanna see You
I can feel it when I touch You
Wanna know You, wanna see You
I can feel it when I touch You
Could I love someone and never be abandoned
Could I love someone and never be empty handed
I want to love you like no one else has
I want to give you what no one else can
Cause its breaking my heart just to see you this way
And you say your alright you say that it's ok
But you've got nothing to hide
Yeah you've got nothing to hide
I gave you my heart and I made up my mind
And I'm longing to love someone
Just to love someone right.
I want to love you like no one else has
I want to give you what no one else can
Cause its breaking my heart just to see you this way
There is something inside of us all
That?s wondering where we?re gonna go
When all the lights are turned down low
Lately the news is weighing me down
I get confused, what?s life all about?
I?m ready for some answers now
What if I keep my eyes on You
Could I sail across the ocean blue?
And Your sun will guide me through
If I go, this I know, I?m headed home
Once upon a time when I was so young
Looking back at all the things that I?ve done
I wonder if You were around
?Cause my family prays with all their hearts
That I could change
And I?m ready to start thinking it over
What if I keep my eyes on You
Could I sail across the ocean blue?
And Your sun will guide me through
If I go, this I know, I?m headed home
And wouldn?t it be nice if we could live twice
And watch the sunset just one more time
Wouldn?t it be nice if we could live twice
And watch the sunset just one more time
If I keep my eyes on You
Could I sail across the ocean blue?
And Your sun will guide me through?
If I go, this I know, I?m headed home
If I should die before I wake
Summers almost over and I think I'm changing colors, it's
time to lose myself again
Oh and I've been thinking this year maybe ill be
something better
Maybe I'll lose some of this selfish skin
Look into the mirror and it all becomes much clearer
I'm not quite who I once was
But I don't mind these changes that time and age might
bring us
As long as it brings me closer to you.
I'm not scared of being what you want me to
Put me together so that I look more like you
I'm not scared of being what you want me to
Put me together so that I look more like you
Id do anything yeah Id do anything
To pull these covers over my head so I could sleep in
Pull these covers over my head so I could sleep in...
Please wake up and find out who you really are
Theres no telling what you look like when your living in
I?m, I'm chasing a storm
And it?s raining on every town
From here to New York
And it takes me places
That I?ve never been before
Oh, but I am not afraid
Of the things that might come my way
I just fold my hands and pray
?Cause I am Yours always forever
Take this heart and make it clean again
Where You lead me, I will follow
Let Your spirit rain down, down, down
Rain down, down, down
And I ain?t got no bags to pack
Just my guitar and shirt on my back
And I?m broke and I?m spent
But I?m young and I?m strong
And I?ve been doing this for so long
That I am not afraid
Of the things that might come my way
I just fold my hands and pray
?Cause I am Yours always forever
Take this heart and make it clean again
Where You lead me, I will follow
Let Your spirit rain down, down, down
Rain down, down, down
I am not afraid
Of the things that might come my way, hey, hey
I just fold my hands and pray
I am Yours always forever
Take this heart and make it clean again
Where You lead me, I will follow
Let Your spirit rain down, down, down
Rain down, down, down
Rain down, down, down
Lately I've been thinking about myself just way to much
And my heart can feel on empty when I long to feel you
touch
Lately I've been trying my best just to not get lost
And my mind starts going in circles when I try to count
the cost
But I don't want to be the one to tell them anymore
I want to wear your heart on my sleeve for the whole
world to see
All these things you do to me
Everyday I'll find new ways to love you more and more
Lately I've been doing my best just to not get lost
And my mind starts spinning in circles when I try to
count the cost
But I don't want to be the one to tell them anymore
I want to wear your heart on my sleeve for the whole
world to see
Sometimes I think that maybe you forget how important it
is to remember
That it is my heart that you hold
It is my heart that you hold.
How could you know what I think without saying a thing
And you feel what I feel when my heart skips a beat
And you know where I'm going before I see a thing.
Sometimes I wonder where it is I'd be if I didn't
understand that my life is in your hands
It is my heart that you hold it is my heart that you
hold.
And when I feel like I'm not satisfied with my
circumstances
I know that ill be alright
It is my heart that you hold it is my heart that you
hold.
How could you know what I think without saying a thing
And you feel what I feel when my heart skips a beat
And you know where I'm going before I see a thing.
I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy
That I cant, wrap my head around it
But you amaze me, yeah you amaze me, just to think you
This is where it starts, this is where it ends
You said it and I'm ready
It's the start of something new and it's creeping inside you
To the heart of who you are
You're gonna cross this line, and now?s the time
You're gonna know where, going
Tell me that You want me, tell me that You see me
I'm giving You everything I have, giving You everything I am
Tell me that You want me, tell me that You see me
I'm telling You right now, here I am
You're not giving up, you're not giving in
To the life you knew before this
You're gonna cross this line, and now's the time
You're gonna know where, going
Tell me that You want me, tell me that You see me
I'm giving You everything I have, giving You everything I am
Tell me that You want me, and that You see me
I'm telling You right now, here I am, I am
And I am always Yours
Give You my heart, my mind and my soul
Tell me that You want me, tell me that You see me
I'm giving You everything I have, giving You everything I am
Tell me that You want me, and that You see me
I'm telling You right now, here I am
Tell me that You want me, tell me that You see me
I'm giving You everything I have, giving You everything I am
Tell me that You want me, and that You see me
Im telling you that I did my best
But it doesn't feel quite good enough,
Now I'm stuck here in the Midwest.
Try and remember all the things I love
And I'm thinking bout a girl back home
But I know I'm not our here alone
Yeah, I gave it all up for you
Just to do the things that you want me to do. I'm headed
home.
Im just trying to find, my way back to the five, got a
lot on my mind gonna figure it out.
Close my eyes and I see evergreens
God I really miss my family
But I left it all behind you see
Just to come out here and chase a dream
But out here they ain't no promises that's the only
promise I confess,
Sometimes I catch my self listening for the sweet pacific
melodies.
I'm just trying to find, my way back to the five, got a
lot on my mind gonna figure it out.
I do it all for You I do it all for You I do it all for
I pledge to You, let my words be true
And everyday I sing, bring glory to Your name
?Cause I?m always Yours, wanna be always Yours
Wanna be Yours
Don?t wanna fool no one, to think that I?m something
'Cause without You, Lord, I?m nothing at all
But I?m always Yours, wanna be always Yours
Wanna be Yours
Look around, and nothing?s real now
But the price that You paid
I just found out that life is just loose ends
So I?m holding on to Your promises
That I?m always Yours, wanna be always Yours
Wanna be Yours
Don?t wanna fool no one, to think that I?m something
'Cause without You, Lord, I?m nothing at all
Look around, nothing?s real now
But the price that You paid, that You paid
?Cause it?s out of my hands, it?s out of my hands
It?s out of my hands, it?s out of my hands
It?s out of my hands, it?s out of my hands
