Skeptics

Look no further, look no further, I am right here
Your skeptics and your cynics got nothing on me
Run for cover, run for cover, I will be right here
Your idols and your worship don’t define me
It’s all noise to me
It’s all noise to me
You tell me to LOVE when LOVE is uneasy
You want me to be your human shield
I’ve got no idea what to believe in
At least half of the time
Bless those who mess up! Bless those who need it most!
Bless those who mess up! Bless those who need it most!
Wait a minute, wait a minute, you’re still my kid
Your life has my name written all over it
Kill your darlings, kill your darlings for heaven’s sake
Don’t let your mindfulness keep you in place

Not a Square Inch
04:21
|

I was pretty convinced that I had my shit together
When I fell into your arms and my whole world just shattered
Well, I’m no longer your boyfriend, I’m a father of two
I’ve got three different jobs and I still can’t repay you
There’s not a square inch that’s not yours, where you haven’t been before
There’s not a square inch of my life where you want me to compromise
LOVE, show me your teeth! Make me want to fight for it again
LOVE, sink your teeth in! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat
I was under the impression that I was too old for this stuff
I thought I grew out of it and someday switched it all off
Baby, it’s time we reconsider our neo-calvinist ideals
I hate to acknowledge how inadequate they have been
LOVE, show me your scars! Force me to take care of you again
LOVE, dig your nails in! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat
LOVE, show me your teeth! Show me how to live without restraint
LOVE, don’t give up now! You’ve become the tiger in my lifeboat

Cast Out Fear
04:20
|

I have held your shoulders, I’ve seen where you sleep
I’ve pulled you from the waters, I have loved you naively
With all my might, with all my might
With all my might, with all my might
You have fed five thousand and I can only feed a few
Let me buy you a coffee instead of trying to pay my dues
I want to see, I want to see with my own eyes, what forgiveness looks like
I want to be, I want to be your hands and feet and cast out fear
Who am I to judge you? (you are LOVE)
Could a match defy the sun?(you are light)
You’ve pulled me from the waters (I am yours)
and you’ve loved me from day one (you are mine)
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me

Jonathan + Byrd

Jonathan, my only son!
You are your mama’s boy
You’ve got her eyes
You’ve got her spine
You’re such a joyful noise
Jonathan, blood of my blood
What’s a boy to do?
When you fell and cut your head
The kitchen floor turned red
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead!
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead!
Jonathan, boys will be boys
We need a lot of grace
You can’t count on many things
But you can count on me to fail
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm

Free Range Kids
04:15

One on the top tube
One on the rear rack
We don’t know how lucky we are
Kids on the upper deck
Mom in the boat’s hold
When the freighter caught our eyes
We all rushed to one side
Who gave you a stone when you asked for a bread?
Who opened their homes when you needed a bed?
It’s only us, only us in total limbo!
It’s only us, only us and reckless mercy!
One man’s privilege is another man’s pursuit
Excuse me but I’ve gotta get my kids to school
Who gave you a gun when you asked for a pen?
Who told you to run from what you don’t understand?

Repercussions
04:28

Who is wrecking who at this point?
I have not been straight with you
We will get what’s coming to us
I can’t do this any longer
It’s harder to fix than to break someone
It’s harder to kneel than to keep running
If you really, really, really want to heal me
You gotta, gotta, gotta clean my dirty wounds
My eyes have seen your glory!
My eyes have seen enough!
It’s better to LOVE than to blame something
It’s better to heal than to keep hurting
If you really, really, really want to heal me
You gotta, gotta, gotta clean my dirty wounds
Are you ready, ready, ready to tell me the whole story
And kiss me, kiss me, kiss me where it hurts the most

Hurry Heaven, Hurry
03:28
|

We’ve never meant any harm, never meant any harm
We’re just enjoying ourselves
Fueled by our pounding hearts, by our racing minds
We’ve left a trail of destruction
We think we know what LOVE is, what LOVE is!
We think we know what LOVE is, what LOVE is!
Get us while we’re young and so impatient for what is yet to come
Treat us like we’re your own kids, like we don’t know what we just did
We’ve never expected this, never looked for this
It’s beyond our imagination
We thought that we’d stand tall, that we could have it all
But our convictions seem toothless
Get us while we’re young and so afraid of what is going on
Treat us like we’re your own kids, like we don’t know what we just did

Signature Move #282

O, the way she moves is the ultimate proof that God exists
A million boys competing to be the one she loves
She cleans my dirty feet, brings out the worst in me and loves me still
There goes the glory bestowed on us
The sweet taste of mercy wasted on us
All of the beauty we’ve overlooked
All of the stories we’ve misunderstood
She moves in the cool of the day
She moves in the cool of the day
It’s ok, it’s ok, I’m with you, don’t be afraid
It’s ok, it’s ok, I’m with you, don’t be afraid
It’s ok, it’s ok, I’m with you, don’t be afraid
