After Me
As the hour grows late and time runs out
I am crumbling beneath all the weight that holds me down
When did I get so good at running from the grace that I have found?
It's all that I have now
You're running after me
No matter where I am
And at my fastest speed
I can feel it as you're closing in
To kill this apathy
I'm dying just to live again
If the ocean could tell a thousand tales
Would she speak with conviction of the bruised and broken sails?
Even if we steer off the course where we belong, redemption will prevail
And make everything new again
You're running after me
No matter where I am
And at my fastest speed
I can feel it as you're closing in
To kill this apathy
I'm dying just
To live like there's no guarantee
Of safely reaching shore
When all I have is letting go
I'm stepping overboard
You're running after me
I know enough's enough
So I'm surrendering
Coming out with both hands up
Your love has captured me
Now I can finally live again
