All This Time

VERSE 1:
He said,
"Boy, you've lived long enough to know some things by now."
I said, "You might be right, but somehow I feel
like I'm just finally waking up to brighter lights."
And he said, "Well, let me give you just one hint:
all the glitter and poise ain't what it's sold to be."
And I said, "Hey, that's fine with me
I'm just tired of all the noise inside my head,
Keeps telling me
Who I'm gonna be,
Still catching up with who I am

VERSE 2:
So listen,
Lately I've been caught staring at the sky,
Wondering what a girl would call that shade of blue
Running into smiles every time I stop watching where I'm going.
And I can't tell what it is that's changed,
Maybe just my particular point of view,
And seeing that
Being caught alive is no excuse for barely breathing
While chasing
Who I'm gonna be
Still catching up with who I am

CHORUS:
All this time, I've been waiting for what?
I couldn't name it, but I
Think I've been wasting mine.
Now I'm spending more time chasing the sky,
May never make it,
But I can say I gave it a try
I've been blind, but I'm gonna get it right this time

VERSE 3:
He said,
"Boy, you've got a life to live,
It may be just one day,
But don't you throw it away,
'Cause one last day
May be all that it would take
To finally reach that sky
So I won't waste
One more breath -- no second glances
Asking how or why
When here we have the when
And I won't wait
Here giving any second chances to my yesterdays
That keep telling me
Who I'm gonna be,
Still catching up with who I am...

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:
Don't go wasting, don't go wasting time

Again

Lead me, oh lead me to Your arms again
to where I stop and You begin again, begin again
Breathe on this dust and start my heart again
Oh hold me 'til its beat is Yours again, is Yours again

I want You, 'cause all I have
Is nothing I can take away
You, 'cause all I have
Is nothing to me anyway

Save me, oh save me from myself again
Tear down my pride and take this throne again, this throne again
Take all these pieces I can't understand
I'll trust Your heart to be my home again, my home again

Break on me like a wave
Crash over me, just
Come wash my heart away
With these two-faced loves
That drag me down each time I look away

VERSE 1:
It should be simple.
I'm looking to find a way / To see the world through Your eyes;
Wondering if what I see / Will come as a surprise.
But I keep dreaming up the reasons why

I can't get started
Just give me one more day / To get this whole thing down
Just yesterday I felt like I / Was coming around
But that's when gravity found me

CHORUS:
Don't go slowing down,
I may not have it all worked out right now
But I'll trust You for the answers when it's time
Won't go walking out
I'm waiting here 'til I have lost and found myself...

VERSE 2:
So take it over
I've been here long enough / To know I'm in my way
Putting in my last word / For everything You say
But Your words are breaking me down
