Out of Town Songtext

von Andrew Osenga

Out of Town

We were out of town
When the ceiling caved in
The waters rose
And we lost everything

The neighbors came
And did what they could
Got the photos dry
Saved what was still good

People told us it would work out for the best
Maybe we just haven't seen it yet

And you were there when we'd given up
There when we tried to run from you
There though we didn't know in the moment
Open up our eyes to really see
Our hearts to just believe that you care
When we can't feel past the moment
And you feel out of town

It was 93, I felt all on my own
And I ended up at a YoungLife club
Someone looked for me and remembered my name
I kept coming back, I was not the same

Cause you were there when I'd given up
There when I tried to run from you
There though I didn't know in the moment
Open up my eyes to really see
My heart to just believe that you
Care when I can't feel past the moment

Where were you when the ones I looked to turned their backs?
Where were you when our vows were taking their worst attack?

Were you there somewhere?
Are you here?
Help me remember
Help me remember

That you were there when I'd given up
There when I tried to run from you
There though I didn't know in the moment
Open up my eyes to really see
My heart to just believe that you
Care when I can't feel past the moment
