Thought It'd Be Nice
Seeking Redemption in Silence
Lyrics
Lord, tell me
Seeking guidance or insight from a higher power.
If you really know it all
Questioning the omniscience of the higher power.
When is my shiny silver lining coming around
Wondering when a positive change or fortunate circumstance will arrive.
Lord, forgive me
Asking for forgiveness for not seeking guidance earlier.
I know I've never called
Admitting to a lack of previous communication with the higher power.
Would I be selfish, and senseless to ask for answers now
Questioning the appropriateness of seeking answers at this time.
I've been holding on to myself though I'm already sinking down
Struggling internally while already facing difficulties.
I've been looking for answers in the people who never come around
Seeking solutions from unhelpful sources or individuals.
I've been fighting the demons I thought I had already walked out
Struggling again with internal conflicts that were believed to be resolved.
Is there somewhere I can meet you
Searching for a meeting place or connection with the higher power.
I've been trying to find you
Actively attempting to locate the higher power.
I just thought it'd be nice to have you around
Expressing a desire for the presence of the higher power.
Lord show me
Requesting a reminder of past knowledge or understanding.
What I used to know
Seeking familiarity with previously held beliefs or wisdom.
As I ran as a child who knew nothing at all
Reflecting on a time of innocence and lack of awareness.
And you saw me
Acknowledging the higher power's observation of past behavior.
Just bashing your very word
Disregarding or disrespecting the teachings of the higher power.
But wouldn't it be romantic and classic for me to show up now
Reflecting on the possibility of a belated return to faith or understanding.
I've been holding on to myself though I'm already sinking down,
Continuing internal struggle despite ongoing difficulties.
I've been looking for answers in the people who never come around,
Seeking solutions from unhelpful sources or individuals (repeated).
I've been fighting the demons I thought I had already walked out
Revisiting internal conflicts that were thought to be resolved (repeated).
Is there somewhere I can meet you
Desiring a specific place or condition to meet the higher power (repeated).
I've been trying to find you
Continuing the active search for the higher power (repeated).
I just thought it'd be nice to have you around
Expressing continued desire for the presence of the higher power (repeated).
I get if you don't wanna give me your time
Understanding if the higher power hesitates to offer guidance due to previous neglect.
When it took me this long to give you any of mine
Realizing the time taken to reciprocate the relationship with the higher power.
And I'm not trynna cut to the front of the line
Acknowledging the reluctance to jump ahead in line or receive preferential treatment.
I wasn't raised that way
Asserting adherence to principles learned in upbringing.
I get if you don't wanna give me your time
Understanding if the higher power hesitates to offer guidance due to previous neglect (repeated).
When it took me this long to give you any of mine
Realizing the time taken to reciprocate the relationship with the higher power (repeated).
But if I tried to cut to the front of the line
Questioning the potential justification for seeking preferential treatment.
Would you get why
Asking whether there would be an understanding of the desire to receive guidance sooner.
Would you get why
Reiteration of questioning the potential understanding for seeking guidance sooner.
I've been holding on to myself though I'm already sinking down,
Continuing internal struggle despite ongoing difficulties (repeated).
I've been looking for answers in the people who never come around,
Seeking solutions from unhelpful sources or individuals (repeated).
I've been fighting the demons I thought I had already walked out
Revisiting internal conflicts that were thought to be resolved (repeated).
Is there somewhere I can meet you
Desiring a specific place or condition to meet the higher power (repeated).
I've been trying to find you
Continuing the active search for the higher power (repeated).
I just thought it'd be nice to have you around
Expressing continued desire for the presence of the higher power (repeated).
