lyrics

I stop for a second to think of the coolness
Coolness of fall
The place where you used to live
When you first got married I thought you’d be so happy
That blessings would fall on your sweet head

You were in this city, and I was so young
I didn't know about death
The way that death it filters
It's like disease that passes to your hands
But now I can see it for what it is

You cannot stop the ticking of time
You cannot fix the brokenness of her
You cannot change anyone's mind
You can just hold on for dear life

I remember your place then, an artist’s den
A refuge from the hurt
That's at least what I thought, but pain chases down
The fastest and brightest of us

You cannot stop the ticking of time
You cannot fix the brokenness of her
You cannot change anyone's mind
You can just hold on for dear life

If you move again
The things in your heart will go too
You can't fix the pain, the hurt
Your family oh the darkness

I need you to know there's a way out from all this
I need you to know that the moment will pass
I need you to know that you're not on your own
I need you to give in to God and come home
