about

This song is a about a familiar situation most of us have been in where we hesitate admitting our failings for fear that perhaps our pride might be on the line.

lyrics

As I lay down with rain on my head
And all the pillars I had counted on were dead
The rain blew down and I was ashamed
My heart remembered love no this tired game

Storms come down and leave me bear
Cold overwhelms I’ve reached my end
Were these storms, storms at all
Or were they clouds in my head

Could I go back back?
Could I go back back?
When I was to blame
Could I go back back?
Could I go back back?
Would I be the same

As I finally stood and looked down the road
Mercy grabbed me and grace overflowed
The path seemed so far, but I’d find a way
Soon I was running, but you met me half way

Oh, were these storms, storms at all
Or were they clouds, clouds in my head
The storm has passed and now here I stand
The skies are now empty, you reached out your hand

You took me back
You took me back
When I was to blame
You took me back
You took me back
And I’m not the same

I’m not the same
You took my shame
