Swirling waters tug and drag me down
So many choices, choices spinning out of my control
Consequences I've let pass me now
Blindside me later, hindsight's a savior
But how could I have foreseen
The steps I'd take out on that wide, open road
Leaving shadows of my former self
Deceive myself in thinking it would turn out alright
I couldn't see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Couldn't make it another day the way things were
No I, I couldn't see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Couldn't make it another day without you in my life
Without you in my life, without you in my life
Now the mirror tells a somber tale
Of haunting memories struggling to cry out
From behind eyes so shuttered fast
Against the pain and anguish, against the lonely silence
I cannot see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Cannot make it another day the way things been
No I, I cannot see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Cannot make it another day without you in my life
Without you in my life, without you in my life
I cannot see you with my eyes
Finally reached you with my cries
Thought I'd die in another day the way things were
Though I, I cannot see you with my eyes
Finally reached you with my cries
Know I'll make it another day now that you're in my life
Now that you're in my life, now that you're in my life
My Jesus, now that you're in my life
Swirling waters tug and drag me down
So many choices, choices spinning out of my control
Consequences I've let pass me now
Blindside me later, hindsight's a savior
But how could I have foreseen
The steps I'd take out on that wide, open road
Leaving shadows of my former self
Deceive myself in thinking it would turn out alright
I couldn't see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Couldn't make it another day the way things were
No I, I couldn't see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Couldn't make it another day without you in my life
Without you in my life, without you in my life
Now the mirror tells a somber tale
Of haunting memories struggling to cry out
From behind eyes so shuttered fast
Against the pain and anguish, against the lonely silence
I cannot see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Cannot make it another day the way things been
No I, I cannot see you with my eyes
Thought I'd reach you with my cries
Cannot make it another day without you in my life
Without you in my life, without you in my life
I cannot see you with my eyes
Finally reached you with my cries
Thought I'd die in another day the way things were
Though I, I cannot see you with my eyes
Finally reached you with my cries
Know I'll make it another day now that you're in my life
Now that you're in my life, now that you're in my life
My Jesus, now that you're in my life
