about

My relationship with God foreseen by the prophet Hosea.

lyrics

I met a woman
We had a blast
And I was attracted
The world was happening
A little too fast
I only reacted

Full of nothing
But deep desire
My sternum was burning
Like an oven
I was on fire
And likewise discerning

Never thought I’d be the man to run away
But now my life is nothing but pretending I’m okay
And I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind and come home
I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind

My blooming curiosity that grew into my ruin
Blossomed into a full-grown flower that broke the branch it grew on
And I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind and come home

In my folly, in my younger days, I didn’t have one regret
My stubbornness combined with pride was my worst enemy yet
Colors are dim. Food is bland. My bones are weak; I can barely stand
I reached in and ripped my heart out with my very own hand

And I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind and come home
I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind and come home
Oh! I want to leave this trouble behind and come home
I wish I never sank down anchored by my heart of stone
And I miss you. I miss you.
I want to leave this trouble behind and come home
And though I’d chosen out of weakness, and pushed away
If I ever see you in the doorway, you will hear me say,
“I miss you. I miss you. I want to leave this trouble behind
and come home.”
