Why can’t we lay our burdens down And let them be taken as they are It’s you and me that are falling to the ground I can’t carry all this weight around Lord give me a peace in my heart Cause everything just falls apart I’m on my own for the first time in a while But I’ve been back there through phone calls and seldom letters It’s hard to live when you feel like you’re alone God take my life and lead me back to my home What do I have to offer But my words and my frail decisions What do I have to offer Take my life and make it yours

This Goes On 02:05
This road goes on for days And I can’t sleep much more tonight I called to say I’m coming home Next time it won’t just be me And I am trying to get back home before tonight I am trying to get back home before tonight Soon I’ll be off again because of what’s inside of me Cause of rivers and oceans, forests and deserts and trees And I can’t wait to be there that night No I can’t wait to be there that night Cause I believe that God shows up in places of the earth Away from every city and away from every church So I am going to travel to the places that he dwells And fall into a love that does not hate and does not judge Far away from this city I’ll find a place for me Away from this city I’ll find a place for me

Ducks 01:07
You told me your name last summer And I already forgot what it was You told me you loved the winter But this barren desert doesn’t stay cold for long So you told me your name in the springtime And I swear I knew it for a day But I never forgot the way you treated the people around you And I’ll never forget your face
4.
Autumn leaves don’t feel the same When you’re not far away Outside of some town in California Cause the leaves don’t change And they never learn how to say goodbye They just run away Until they find some place to hide They find some place to hide They find some place to hide But these memories fade And my understanding of things like growing up is constantly changing I’m still learning about myself Cause I remember that day I left And I remember that night when you first kissed me I remember the day my dad said he wasn’t coming back I remember all my friends All the ones that stayed and the ones that left I remember being younger than I am And I know that I’ve changed But I wouldn’t change it for the world And I’ve made mistakes But I never chose to run away And I never chose to go and find some place to hide Go and find some place to hide Go and find some place to hide

Lament 03:05
It takes your life to bury mine You take your life and you bury mine So don’t hold back, I still want more I’m on my knees, I’m searching for So don’t hold back, I still want more You said take up your cross and follow me But I don’t know if I have the strength I need your strength I need your strength I need your grace I need your grace So don’t hold back, I still want more I’m on my knees, I’m searching for So don’t hold back, I still want more You said take up your cross and follow me But I don’t know if I have the strength You said take up your cross and follow me But Lord I know that I need your strength

List 02:13
I hate when people change lanes without a blinker Or how you stopped answering my calls I hate that all my friends are different than they used to be I’m not quite sure if it’s me or not I hate those stupid bars on Cincinnati I hate that death comes so quickly To people I care for, to people I love I asked you a question that day But I guess it was loaded I hate when cars drive five miles under I hate that there’s this list Of all these things I complain about I’m sick of being sick of everyone I’m sick of being sick of myself God take my heart and change it God take my heart and change it I’m tired of breaking my back To feel better than I did last year And I’m sorry but I’m selfish And I won’t change for anyone I’m changing all the time
