Providence - by Grey Jacks

We met in Los Angeles
Had fling but that’s all
til you came back to me
about a year ago
Said, “it seems that our lives now
are under control
and I’m so into you
that my heart could explode”

I said, this feels like providence
I’ll jump and let go
I am the center seat
You are the camera roll
And under my fear lives
a cynical faith
that we are breaking through
to our very best days

It can be lonely if you run and hide
like I hid from you

I’ll fumble, I promise
But all of your faith
Helps to keep me
Truthful and entertained
Got all of my wrinkles
covered in tape
life was useless and ruthless
before you came
to lead me toward providence
I’ll jump and let go
I am the center seat
you’re the camera roll

It can be lonely if you run and hide.
Like I hid from you

I believe in loves promise
I’ll jump and let go
You have centered me
I think you have to know.
Now lead me toward providence
And don’t you let go
I’m the center seat
You’re the camera roll
I’ll stumble. I promise
but all of your faith
helps to keep me
truthfully entertained
And under my fear lives
a cynical faith
We are breaking through
to our very best days.
Days
