what if i told you that I was still so
set on vain efforts to fix what ain’t broke
that I couldn’t set my pride aside
Jesus as I interact with this wo-
-man teach me to abide
i thought i was helping, corrective of hope
breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote
plenty of songs about swiping at hope
of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke
i’da given everything to make her mine
it’s crazy how the plainest things
are like traveling through time
it ain’t about years man it ain’t about months
but tomorrow I sure hope to hear from you once
anything to keep this hope alive
cause maybe i’m jealous and prob’ly naive
but what if I call you next Tuesday Abby
i thought i was helping, corrective of hope
breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote
plenty of songs about swiping at hope
of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke
i’da given everything to make her mine
it’s crazy how the plainest things
are like traveling through time
I don’t want to think in a future that’s built
on a fun houses mirrors and burning bridge smoke
even with all of that stated
i wouldn’t mind
cause i know I just asked once but will do again
next week would you like it if you were in
considerations that I’ll call and then
i’d never leave you hanging high and dry
cause we’d weather any storm that may arise
if ever we’re together but let’s focus on this time
i don’t want to be bent on future days
leaving my present self with the sad truths of why
i thought i was helping, corrective of hope
breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote
plenty of songs about swiping at hope
of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke
i’da given everything to make her mine
it’s crazy how the plainest things
are like traveling through time
tomorrows worries ain’t for me today
cause the troubles of these twenty four hours
are enough to lead any
distracted man astray
so would you keep me God
in your righteous right hand
and maybe then her for me
for another day
whatever you will my Lord
i’m glad it’ll be your way
be to me helping, correcting my hopes
would you rebuild the smile of the girl that I wrote
plenty of songs about swiping at hope
of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke
please give everything to edify
it’s crazy how a single plane ride
had me traveling through time
Braden
