Transatlantic

what if i told you that I was still so

set on vain efforts to fix what ain’t broke

that I couldn’t set my pride aside

Jesus as I interact with this wo-

-man teach me to abide

i thought i was helping, corrective of hope

breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote

plenty of songs about swiping at hope

of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke

i’da given everything to make her mine

it’s crazy how the plainest things

are like traveling through time

it ain’t about years man it ain’t about months

but tomorrow I sure hope to hear from you once

anything to keep this hope alive

cause maybe i’m jealous and prob’ly naive

but what if I call you next Tuesday Abby

i thought i was helping, corrective of hope

breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote

plenty of songs about swiping at hope

of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke

i’da given everything to make her mine

it’s crazy how the plainest things

are like traveling through time

I don’t want to think in a future that’s built

on a fun houses mirrors and burning bridge smoke

even with all of that stated

i wouldn’t mind

cause i know I just asked once but will do again

next week would you like it if you were in

considerations that I’ll call and then

i’d never leave you hanging high and dry

cause we’d weather any storm that may arise

if ever we’re together but let’s focus on this time

i don’t want to be bent on future days

leaving my present self with the sad truths of why

i thought i was helping, corrective of hope

breaking the smile of a girl that I wrote

plenty of songs about swiping at hope

of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke

i’da given everything to make her mine

it’s crazy how the plainest things

are like traveling through time

tomorrows worries ain’t for me today

cause the troubles of these twenty four hours

are enough to lead any

distracted man astray

so would you keep me God

in your righteous right hand

and maybe then her for me

for another day

whatever you will my Lord

i’m glad it’ll be your way

be to me helping, correcting my hopes

would you rebuild the smile of the girl that I wrote

plenty of songs about swiping at hope

of a chance to be more than a lonely ol’ bloke

please give everything to edify

it’s crazy how a single plane ride

had me traveling through time
