Unfamiliarity
Has gotten the best of me
The state's dried up like Moses' sea
Nothing's as it used to be
I still have this overwhelming fear
That has lived inside of me for years
That I was almost never there
Far too late to say my prayers
I've kept secrets like I always did
And some other's fears I hid
But since that day I keep losing it
And no candles were ever lit
Once I jumped out of a moving car
And it hasn't gotten me that far
'Cause my love for our stripes and stars
Was not enough to save her heart
I wish I could pick up the pieces
But not like she did when I messed up
Please help me get through this, oh Jesus
I wish that I could make it stop
The white house wasn't made for this
The walls paint such a blood-red kiss
I'm not quite sure just what it is
But, there's still something that I miss
Well I didn't do it, but I haven't tried
And the feeling tears me up inside
Well I didn't do it, but I haven't tried
No I haven't
I wish I could pick up the pieces
But not like she did when I messed up
Please help me get through this, oh Jesus
I wish that I could make it stop
