Make It All Okay
You threw away the ballast
And you rowed your boat ashore
Didn't you now, didn't you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn't you now, didn't you?
So you worked out your excuses
Turned away and shut the door
The world's too vast for us now
And you wanted to explore
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again
I'd have to walk away
When I saw you at the street fair
You called out my name
Didn't you now, didn't you?
You said we could start over
Try and make it all okay
Didn't you now, didn't you?
So our past has been rewritten
And you threw away the pen
You'd said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again
Well, Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
We don't have a prayer between us
Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away?
Didn't you now, ddn't you?
Or anything to hold onto to help me through my day
Didn't you now, didn't you?
Jesus loves me fine
But his words fall flat this time
It's a long, long long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your world
Did you think I'd really stay?
If you offered me the Heavens
I would have to turn away
Was it my imagination or did I hear you say
We don't have a prayer between us
Didn't you,now, didn't you now?
Didn't you?
And you rowed your boat ashore
Didn't you now, didn't you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn't you now, didn't you?
So you worked out your excuses
Turned away and shut the door
The world's too vast for us now
And you wanted to explore
It's a long, long, long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again
I'd have to walk away
When I saw you at the street fair
You called out my name
Didn't you now, didn't you?
You said we could start over
Try and make it all okay
Didn't you now, didn't you?
So our past has been rewritten
And you threw away the pen
You'd said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again
Well, Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
We don't have a prayer between us
Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away?
Didn't you now, ddn't you?
Or anything to hold onto to help me through my day
Didn't you now, didn't you?
Jesus loves me fine
But his words fall flat this time
It's a long, long long road
And I don't know which way to go
If you offered me your world
Did you think I'd really stay?
If you offered me the Heavens
I would have to turn away
Was it my imagination or did I hear you say
We don't have a prayer between us
Didn't you,now, didn't you now?
Didn't you?
