Lyrics:
The One Who Holds My Heart
Verse 1:
How many lightyears away is Your love?
You stretched out the sky but I still feel you close up
You filled the void from coast to coast
With the bluest of blue just to show Your color coat
Pre-Chorus 1:
Oh my God
You are here
How could we not see You in our atmosphere?
Chorus:
The One Who holds my heart, set the places for the stars
Sent the sun just out of reach, so we wouldn’t fly too far
Oh my what a view, from where we are
To touch the face of God, I could touch the face of God
The One Who holds my heart
Verse 2:
The way You call me a masterpiece
When I feel like a sketch that someone just threw away
You lift my head up and wipe my cheek
And say “I’ve never made anything more beautifully”
Pre-Chorus:
Oh my God
I am amazed
That You would come down
Just to take my place
Chorus:
Bridge:
God of wonder, God of wonder
Sole Creator, I stand in awe
God of wonder, I am humbled
I stood accused, now I stand forgiven
You took my bruise, so I could touch heaven
God of wonder, I am in love with You
I stand in awe, of the One Who holds my heart
Carhartt Beanie
Verse 1:
I know the layout of your house, but I never got an invite
I know you dad’s greatest accomplishments, but not what you really think about him
I know all of your pick-up lines, but you’d like to think I don’t know the first thing about you
Act like we’ve never met, like you’re innocent of ever making me think I trust you
Chorus:
But there’s a Carhartt beanie that says otherwise in my backseat
There’s a name written down in fingerprint on my windshield
Tell me I’m alright, dance in my headlights
Call me what you used to have me as on on your phone screen
Just come back to me
Verse 2:
I miss you and hate you at the same time
Turns out loving you was a prism and there’s multiple sides
And you keep calling me crazy without calling me at all
Cause for a split second in time it’s like you’re just another stranger on a dance floor
Chorus:
Bridge:
And you can drive away from me as long as you can fathom
Cause you think I wouldn’t take you back
If you walked in
Chorus:
But there’s a Carhartt beanie that says otherwise in my backseat
And there’s a name written down in fingerprint on my windshield
I’d tell you it’s alright, stand in your headlights
Call you what you miss hearing me say
I wouldn't get you back with what you gave to me
Outro:
Just come back home
Just come back home
Just come back home
Dance in my headlights
