My whole neighborhood’s becoming a ghost town
Every adventure, every place where we fell down
These little deaths spare no expense
But there’s no funeral to mourn what we've lost now
We grow our roots in sinking sand
Distraught as time destroys our plans
So what can I do now but lift my hands?
When the sky starts falling down
I’ll never see the Son the same way again
Where else would I go?
Grower, plant Your seed
Grower, plant Your seed
I don’t know what else to say
It can be so hard to love
When the world moves faster than I do
The problem’s not that I am so afraid of pain and death
I’m just not afraid enough of You
Strange how control tends to take my courage
Shake the earth
I want to trust You, come what may
The anxiety I feel can’t add a second to my life
But I know it’s taken years away
When the sky starts falling down
I’ll never see the Son the same way again
Where else would I go?
When the sky starts falling
I’ll be more in love than I had ever been
Where else would I go?
I know that we are hopeless
In a strictly flesh and bone sense
You say You’re by my side and You love me
So there’s no point in dwelling on the suspense
And though I want to evacuate this place
I’ll keep waiting out
Waiting out every coming storm to know
I’ve nowhere else to go apart from You
Singing, “That storm is a monster
But from here it’s such a beautiful view”
Screaming, “Let the cloud consume me
Let it strip me bare of all that isn’t true”
All that isn’t You
When the sky starts falling down
I’ll never see the Son the same way again
Where else would I go?
When the sky starts falling
I’ll be more in love than I had ever been
That’s all that I know

Catchy melodies, masterfully crafted instrumentation, and thought provoking lyrics. A big step up from the last album, and I really love that one. Highly recommend for all your mathy pop rock needs. Lauren Elise
