In  a motel  room,  with  the Bible out
Combing  scriptures for answers about
What's  happening now
 'Cause  I cant  believe  my eyes
And  I just don't trust my ears
But  I've heard a man can always come find
Some  solace here
 (Continue this pattern through out the whole song)
 And Lord, I know that we dont talk
 Often at all anymore
 But desperate folks do desperate things
 So I'm stapling this note to your door
 Please, turn the ship around
 And lock the course in place
 And keep the train tracks nailed to the ground
 Or pull the emergency break
 'Cause I've lost my faith in man
 Just like I once lost faith in you
 And I've been covering all kinds of ground
 Thinking hard 'bout what else i could lose
 And I know how I look
 To come crawling back
 Acting like you owe me proof
 But this is bigger than me
 I think it's bigger than you too
 (Palm Mute)
 So if this gets to you
 Yeah if you ever come home
 Just know I won't be awaiting the postman
 I will not be glued to my phone
 I'll know a change has come
 I'll know that you exist
 When all our bombs stop exploding
 And when all of those landmines are stripped
 And we stop blowin' up strangers' houses
 And making orphans of innocent kids
 And people stop thinking the world's theirs for the taking
 'Cause your world once told them it is
 'Til then, i'm gonna shake my head
 I'm gonne bite my tongue
 When people tell me, 'Have faith and be patient,
 We're waiting for God to show up.'
 Yeah 'til then, it's one more skeptical song
 And i'll be glad as hell
 If you come and prove me wrong

And Lord, I know that we dont talk

Just like I once lost faith in you
And I've been covering all kinds of ground
