[In] (Adlib:) Day 6... still standing in the gap... yeah (Adlib:) Do you see me? Or are you just resting? [V1] I’m scrolling through the blue light, reading every line Checking every comma, tryna see if I’m aligned Did I say too much? Did I lose the meaning? Or am I just the background noise while you’re busy dreaming? (Adlib:) Wake up and see me... There’s a lure in the water, but you never take a bite While someone else is chasing me, calling through the night I’m fleeing from the shadow of the girl I used to be But I’m wondering if you’re ever gonna flee toward me. (Adlib:) Run to me... [Ch] I’m your last thought, but I’m your first call I’m the one who catches you before you even fall I hear your heartbeat, like we got all the time But my net’s still empty, and the mountain’s hard to climb (Adlib:) It's so hard to climb... Why don’t you want me like I want to serve? Is this the breakthrough or just the bait I don’t deserve? (Adlib:) Just an empty hook... [V2] I know your language is the touch, the service, and the deed So I brought the medicine, the noodles, everything you need (Adlib:) I brought you everything... I heard the sickness in your throat, the weight upon your chest I should’ve stayed and massaged the pain, put your heart to rest But I’m restrained by the fast, denying every pleasure Searching for a love that’s got a spiritual measure (Adlib:) I'm holding back... We’re so close on that couch, but we’re a thousand miles apart I can assist in surgery, but I can’t repair your heart. (Adlib:) Code Blue... I can't fix you... [Ch] I’m your last thought, but I’m your first call I’m the one who catches you before you even fall I hear your heartbeat, like we got all the time But my net’s still empty, and the mountain’s hard to climb (Adlib:) It's so hard to climb... Why don’t you want me like I want to serve? Is this the breakthrough or just the bait I don’t deserve? (Adlib:) Just an empty hook... [V3] Even Abraham had his moments, even Lot’s wife looked back I’m trying to keep my eyes ahead, stay on the narrow track (Adlib:) Don't look back... But the bait of a new man’s words is starting to taste sweet Cause he’s running for my heart while I’m sitting at your feet I’m an Irish twin, a fighter, I’ve survived the foster hush I don’t want to beg for love or feel this lonely rush (Adlib:) No more begging... I come running when you need me, I’m the interceding force But are you the destination, or am I off my course? (Adlib:) Tell me where I'm going... [Br] The tree I’m watering isn't bearing any fruit And I’m terrified I’m cutting my own spiritual root (Adlib:) Where is the fruit? I’m committing a crime against my own heart Waiting for a finish when we never had a start (Adlib:) I'm waiting on God... but I'm in a hurry... [Out] (Adlib:) Day 6 clarity... I’m speaking to the mountains... (Adlib:) Don't let me catch the wrong one... Check the messages... did I say it right? I’m just soaking in His presence... while you sleep tonight.
