Featuring Brandon Surh

lyrics

God said my biggest challenges would be with myself
But I spent all this time blaming it on someone else
"It's her fault I'm like this"
"It's her fault I can't get up in the morning"
No, no, can't you see
Think!
Sure, she turns away when you pass each other in the hall
And it took two years to get another word willing to come out of her mouth at all
"She must be the problem"
No she's not
You're the one letting her control your thoughts
Twisting your mindset you thought you had oh so under control
Twisting and pulling it to fit the story plotted out in your head
Writing every word that she said
Down on your arm in permanent pen
Highlighting the moments you blew, and then...
Radio silence
You lay down in your bed
For days and weeks and months on end
Haunted by eyes like heroin
And a smile like crack
Every minute, like a replaying tape
Marking up the image of the landscape
The place in Illinois where you fell in love
With those grey-green eyes that glisten in the moonlight
Her long, black hair that always looked right
The dreams you had of you with her at night
The star of the act, a ruined show in your sight
But you,
You were just a bump
A grudge she kept
A name lodged in her mouth she couldn't get out
Her friends said you're all that she talked about
But not in the way you wanted to, no doubt
So here's what we'll do:
Close the chapter, lock up the book
Go to a bridge in New Hampshire that overlooks
A river smaller than a stream, but bigger than a brook
Where we'll toss that sucker and never look...
Hold up,
Lets turn back and look
At the book
Watch the pages erode away
With every change of current and wave
All the ink tattooed onto the page
Now washed away and water-stained
Can't burn the book now anymore
But it's way better than what you could ask for
Cause now it's there for someone to find
Someone to remind
That God's biggest challenges for me were with myself
And I figured it out
To not blame it on anyone else
