These rivers run too deep With schemes of men for days that lay ahead They sell their souls so cheap They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread When did the boy become a man And lose his life to learn? So much confusion to this plan These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land This boy has learned to fail In times like these to cry seems so absurd His own life's crises pale In the shadow of this truly dying world These are the games we played at school Our hands raised in despair With no exception to the rule These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land Where is the love to keep us together? Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land

There's been times Where I thought that my prayers never made it past the ceiling Much less the sky and I've had doubts Questions about my faith, but I don't really even know why or how 'Cause I look at this green-eyed girl from Tennessee The one I bothered you about since I was 17 And I know that I wasn't wasting breath or words 'Cause I look at her and I'm pretty sure ya heard This old guitar, dad played in bars As soon as it was mine, I started seeing shootin' stars I played at parties, out in fields And I hoped one day by the grace of you it just might pay the bills Now I look at these people sitting in these seats This dream I bothered you about since I could barely sing Yeah, I know that I wasn't wasting breath or words My face is on their shirts Yeah, I'm pretty sure, ya heard (Ya heard) Yeah, we tried, for a while And I got pretty mad at you, no I ain't gonna lie But people say you've got way Of being pretty funny, while you make us wait 'Cause I look at these babies crawlin' up on me The ones I bothered you about since I was 23 And I know that I wasn't wasting breath or words 'Cause I look at them, and I look at her More than I deserve, yeah, I'm pretty sure ya heard I'm pretty sure ya heard I'm pretty sure ya heard Ooh-ooh, ya heard

Here she comes again Not satisfied With the state I'm in, She's a breath of life, Tearing me inside, My arms are open but my soul is tired. Morning comes but still at night, I see your face when I close my eyes, In my dreams coming back to me, I see you walking in my sleep, I see your teardrops in the streets, I hear you saying you'll wait, I feel you lying next to me, I hear you whisper come and see. Here she comes again, Standing by my side, Breathing on my skin, She's a breath of life, I've got nothing left to hide, My arms are open but my soul is tired. Morning comes but still at night, I see your face when I close my eyes, I see you walking in my sleep, I see your teardrops in the streets, I hear you saying you'll wait, I feel you lying next to me, I hear you whispering come and see, Morning comes but still at night, I see your face when I close my eyes, In my dreams coming back to me, I see you walking in my sleep, I see your teardrops in the streets, I hear you saying you'll wait, I feel you lying next to me, I hear you whispering come and see, I hear you walking through the trees, I feel your footsteps at my feet, You take my hand and I'm running at ease, I feel you breathing on my cheek, I see you dreaming in deep, I hear you saying you'll see, I see you lying next to me, I hear you whisper come and see. Morning comes but still at night, I see your face when I close my eyes, In my dreams coming back to me, I see you walking in my sleep, I see your teardrops in the streets, I hear you saying you'll wait, I feel you lying next to me, I hear you whispering come and see, I hear you walking through the trees, I feel your footsteps at my feet, You take my hand and I'm running at ease, I feel you breathing on my cheek, I see you dreaming in deep, I hear you saying you'll see, I see you lying next to me, I hear you whisper come and see.

I'm so tired of staring at the wall But I know I've got to put you down And I keep trying to make sense of it all But I can't keep going around and 'round And you know me well You know me better than this And I can't be sure if you're something I'd miss 'Cause I've heard it all before I've heard it all before I keep finding a little piece of me Every time we disagree And your words float like dandelions every other way I can't keep listening to what you say 'Cause I've heard it all before I've heard it all before And I'll take everything I can And I'll throw it out the door Yeah, I've heard it all before I've heard it all before And I'll take everything I can But I've heard it all before
