best has better

Posted on by under Faith, God, Hope


i can hold my tounge with struggle
quiet the storm inside
hide all of my feelings
bury my wounded pride

but with all the control i boast of
still my heart runs free
and i can’t stop it from hollerin’
all my secret dreams

i can’t explain my wishes
i know i’m unworthy
but even the best has better
that God’s planned for me

i can lie if you ask me
cause i know i should not dream
but if God can part the ocean
He can dry some teary streams

i can put on normal
and act like i’m all ok
but then there’s that feeling
when the world looks the other way

i can’t explain my wishes
i know i’m unworthy
but even the best has better
that God’s planned for me

You’re Mine

phone in my hand i test the line
the tone means it works just fine
maybe my number is too hard to remember
maybe if i were more kind

i wanna be clear with what i say
i hint at “i’m lonely” and “please stay”
can’t you take the lead, offer what i need
i can’t ask you in an audible way

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine

i see you again and we smile
silence follows to get my riled
i practice a speech i know i’ll never say
and you’ve been listening all the while

i stumble around the subject and i fall
you find me forehead against the wall
you ask what’s wrong, i answer in song
hey what rhymes with why don’t you call

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine

so obvious

do i dare even open my mouth
to tell her she looks nice today
do i dare even open my mouth
i don’t know what to say

do i dare even look at her now
she can see through my lies
do i dare risk eye contact now
she can see the truth in my eyes

it must be – so obvious
it must be – so obvious
i’ve never been good at saying
just how i feel

do i dare share my heart
can i handle a no?
do i dare share a secret
that she surely already knows?

do i dare push her away
maybe it’s God’s plan
do i dare? no i can’t
she was meant for this man

it must be – so obvious
it must be – so obvious
i’ve never been good at saying
just how i feel

don’t compromise

never thought i’d start a journey
like the one i’m going through
never knew i could dream so big
till i met you

but i saw deep in your eyes
a fire beneath the blue
you say you only want
someone to marry you
but don’t compromise
for some of those guys
hold on – it can’t be far
to someone who loves you
the way you are
honestly, i can’t understand
why you’re still alone
you’re a beauty, but beyond
you’re the sweetest girl i’ve known

i can’t offer answers
i won’t share my dream
lets just things aren’t as hopeless
as they seem
don’t compromise
for some of those guys
just go to the well with your jar
God’s sending someone to meet you
right where you are

 

fame

Posted on by under Girls, Hope

wakin’ up with her name on my breath
blinkin’ her face from my eyes
venturing out means reality
my life comes as no surprise

same old story, oh so true
boy meets destiny girl
but there’s no chance for him
his hope a fallen world

i can wish and i can dream
that things were different than they seem
but it’s not my time, not my chance
i can’t risk this failed romance
i’m dippin’ my toe into the sea
feeling the fear of being caught
but i can hear a distant call
her nets were further than i thought
so envious of her past
of love i had no part
sympathetic to the ones
who let her break their hearts (don’t let her break your heart)
and again with my assumption
she so wild, she can be tamed
millions try and millions fail
to live with fickle fame
