Verse:
I've been on the run for years and years.
Every six months I move to escape my fears.
Every time I go, I go alone.
I try to shake it off, but it bites down to the bone.
Pre-Chorus:
I wandered so far I can't be found.
Now is the time to figure out why the party's over.
Situations, they change my plans,
But patience will give me chance.
Chorus:
And you teach me to be.
Let me see who I am.
Lift me up in the palm of your hands.
Having been through it all,
Where I fall, there you stand.
Giving love with your generous/merciful hands.
Verse:
Falling back on my old traits
Yesterday's destructive ways.
I never ever thought that I'd rely on "Why Try?"
Chorus:
Pre-Chorus:
I wandered so far I can't be found.
Now is the time to figure out why the party's over.
Situations, they change my plans,
But patience will give me chance.
Chorus:
--Counter melody to Chorus--
Give me a chance
I want you.
I need you.
I love you.
You make me
You shake me
You wake me
you take me when i'm broken down - in my life
You're the light
You're the right the right
Of this wrong.
I pray on.
I've gone too long without my savior in my life.
(repeat)
