I always liked how you'd kneel down to tie your shoes up
I'd stand and look at your hair
But I'd get out of there fast, I'd slip my boots on
I never gave you time to stare
I liked the way you'd feel smaller for a second
And I'd stand in silence
Maybe I'll see you drive by in your car
Maybe you'll see me walking
I don't want you knowing anything I'm thinking
I'm just quietly hoping
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I'm not a leaf in a river
I know what I'm here for
I know what I'm here for
I'm not a leaf in a river
I'm a sailboat in a storm
I won't float along
My brothers always would leave the kitchen table
Before saying thank you
They didn't know what they had
I don't know when it'll be but I say 'see you'
You say nothing again
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I'm not a leaf in a river
I know what I'm here for
I know what I'm here for
I'm not a leaf in a river
I'm a sailboat in a storm
I won't float along
Oh I know what I'm here for
Oh I'm a sailboat in a storm
Oh I know what I'm here for
Oh I'll sail along in this storm
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing
I know where I'm heading
But I don't want to wait in line
Unless you'll be there too
Could I put my hand around your arm
I know where I'm heading
But I don't want to wait in line
Unless you'll be there too
Could I put my hand around your arm
I guess I missed you coming off the highway
You won't see me and I won't leave you wondering
I guess I missed you coming off the highway
(I guess I missed you, I guess I missed you)
You won't see me and I won't leave you wondering
I'm not a leaf in a river
I know what I'm here for
I know what I'm here for
I'm not a leaf in a river
I know what I'm here for
I know what I'm here for
I'm not a leaf in a river
I'm a sailboat in a storm
I won't float along
We had a different kind of worship
You were a different kind of person
