Caught Off Guard(EP)

Much The Same Caught Off Guard(EP) Lyrics
1.Moto

It's been five years

since I stopped caring

what they thought of me

I'm a messenger at heart,

with a blatant personality

So you can say I'm strange

or stay out of my way

Or maybe you'll listen to

what I've got to say

I can't hide the things he's done for me

What is the benefit of subtlety?

If I believe a savior is the only thing they need

And I hid it between the metaphors

what kind of person would I be?

Is it that important

that the crowd thinks we're the best

What is the benefit in the end?

I'm just trying to show them

all that there's a better way

How can I do that if i veil what I say?

No one will ever silence me!


2.Here I Am

Life is more uncertain now

And I'm searching for tomorrow

but I know My life is in your hands

Had my future laid out

The next few years all played out in my head

But I am just a man

Here I stand

with no plans before me

So here I am,

submitting full control

I can't stand not knowing what's before me

So here I am,

playing my role

I'm not used to giving up control

Feeling I'm not living up

to your standards

But I just want to obey

I can plan out day and night

Look at darkness or bathe in light,

but what matters

Is that I walk in faith


3.Liar

I have always been so proud of my honest heart

So naturally the truth flows from my mouth

Of course I have lied my share of times in my life

But it's pulling the teeth

they pass to even spit them out

So it's so hard to find

that I've been lying to myself all this time

I say I know you but it's time I realized

This life I lead is far from glorifying

Redundancy is plaguing me,

it happens all the time

Because I just keep trying

And it's so dark in here

And I need you near

To ease my growing fear

So now I know the truth

that I've been missing all along

Or maybe just didn't want to hear

And I confess I'm a lifetime liar

of the truest kind

But I'm no longer blind


4.Crying Wolf

So I'll say it again,

for what must be the thousandth time

I know I've sinned against you

and that's not another line

You're the only one who knows

what's inside my feeble heart

I repent for it once again,

once again a brand new start

I try and I try and I try,

but I can't do it without you

I know what's right,

and it's the only thing I want

But the only thing I want

is the one I never do

I hate this sin inside me,

but I give in almost every time

I do the very thing I hate

as I push you aside

Do my words even reach you,

oh lover of my soul?

Or have I cried wolf one too many times?

Please hear me and the words

I'll probably say again

I'm sorry,

please change my heart and mind

I hate this sin inside me,

but I give in almost every time

Please teach me to rely on your power,

through my weakness I know that I'm strong

You're right beside me

and your grace makes me strong

But I'm so helpless on my own


5.Someday Not Soon

What happens when it all comes to an end

Gone from the one

your closest friend

There is no doubt your love is something real

Goodbyes are hard,

the pain will heal

I wish I had some scholarly advice

Something that could make it all go away

But I will always be there when you call

And offer a shoulder when you need to cry

'Cause I'm always here,

I'll always care

I'm praying for you I want you to be aware

Someday not soon

the memories of pain will fade away

But a contented love will always remain

I've been through this myself

a couple times before

I wish I could say it wouldn't be so bad

Second song to you

is not more cheery than the last

I wish it didn't have to be so sad


6.Here All Along

Suddenly my defenses are down

Blindsided by my own curiosity

Now the enemy is attacking all around

My heart is pounding through my chest

And there's no way that I can get my rest tonight

God save me!

Give me your truth

so I can stand up once again

Keep me prepared

so I can have a peace within

I look out on this battlefield,

the one I call my life

I can see that you're my strongest

ally in this fight

Yeah, I'm praying on the armor, Lord

And already I feel strong

Yeah, my fear has begun its drifting

Because you've been here all along
