lyrics

I Was Young Twice
No!  I think back to when I walked away. And now will never be the same.  When I close my eyes I see your face. And the years have taken all from me. A withered body lying cold, But I will burn again, and
Say, There’s more here in death than is in life But I had to say goodbye
I didn’t want to leave you all behind Your care was never fully mine A full life is never fully lived Until its fully known
Silence! is all that is left in place of me, and yet I speak.
They say that time heals all wounds But they don’t know how deep this cut runs As we strike our matches to this life and burn down all we own They say that time heals all wounds Burn down all you own  The next big thing was just a lie We’re promised so much more We cut our throats with our own tongues And waste time on our bones

Blindness! And even as the breath was leaving me I began to see
It was never about being right, it was always about being clear. Now stop and think about your life, will you be standing here? I told you that I was young twice, how do you think I got that way? It’s only by Jesus Christ and all He’s done for me.

A long-time fan of Dogwood. They got me through some tough times as a teenager. Whether it was dealing with my dad who bailed or struggling through the faith, their songs always made me feel like someone else understood. Parepidemos1113
