you threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore
you made your ultimatum too big to ignore
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
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 said we could start over
try and make it all okay. 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
we don't have a prayer between us."
