I was just a boy, how was I supposed to feel?
I had questions more than your lessons could reveal
So God, come down here, show me you’re real
‘Cause I need you more now than ever
So show yourself and I’ll kneel
Say what you want but
I feel there’s something here
It could be you but I can’t be sure
(It could be you but I can’t be sure)
I was just a boy, now I’m staring in those stained-glass eyes
I wish I could lie and tell you
What we’re about to go through
Will be alright
You won’t know God, but you will know hell
Losing your connection in a garden full of questions
Seek yourself
Before you seek something else
Say what you want but
I feel there’s something here
(I feel something)
It could be you but I can’t be sure
I feel there’s something here
(I feel something)
It could be you but I can’t be sure

Life is precious but it’s heavy and weighing on me
Weighing on me
And if I’m honest you’re the only thing keeping me
On the ground beneath my feet
I’m not the same as before you
Wouldn’t be who I am without you
But things happen
People do things
I could lose all that I have in a moment
Temper frays in erratic emotions
It happens
People lose things
If you ever feel nothing but blue
Know I only ever needed you
I’m behind you
Loving you from a distance
And if you’re ever living with my ghost
It’s okay to let it go
Still beside you
Loving you from a distance
Loving you from a distance
I’m still beside you
Life is precious but it’s heavy and it’s weighing on me
It’s weighing on me
The tears in your eyes mirror mine and it terrifies me
I’m not the same as before you
Wouldn’t be who I am without you
But things happen
People do things
And you’ll find somewhere to put the pieces
Gathered from favourite places
‘Cause it happens
People move things
But if you ever feel nothing but blue
Know I only ever needed you
I’m behind you
Loving you from a distance
If you’re ever living with my ghost
It’s okay to let it go
Still beside you
Loving you from a distance
Loving you from a distance
Still beside you
Loving you from a distance
Still beside you
I’m somewhere on the breeze
In every colour that you see
In the faces of the people we meet
I will find my way to you
