[Intro]
And the angel said unto them, "Fear not
For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people
For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour"
We need to boldly herald the good news (There will be good news)
[Verse 1]
There must be better news on the Gold Coast
Than we got here in the Buckle
I've been head down in this town
Too scared to move a muscle
While they were spreading diseases
In the name of Jesus
We're fresh out of leaders
But if we'd just believe it, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I, I can't go through that again
Can't fall in that trap again
[Chorus]
I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
And I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
How can I know if you're ever listening
When I spill my guts and I empty my lungs?
How can I know you care?
How can I know you're there at all?
[Verse 2]
I've been searching for you since I lost you
On the beach in Carolina
I've seen to gurus and front pews
And can't seem to find ya
I went from Lao Tzu to Rumi
Hoping you still knew me
You say nothing to me
But my mother says you're talking through me
[Bridge]
I wish I could let you take the wheel
I can't go through that again
I can't fall in that trap again
[Chorus]
I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
And I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
How can I know if you're ever listening
When I spill my guts and I empty my lungs?
How can I know you care?
How can I know you're there at all?
[Instrumental Outro]
