Lyrics:
It's dark and it's quiet in my house tonight
Babies are all gone to sleep
It's hard to imagine a better life
Than the one I get to lead
I had a glass of wine but my mind is clear
These walls they talk to me
Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now
But you won't always be
My blood and my bones
My heart and my hands
They try to hold all of this in
But I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
Singing God I need you, oh how I need you
God I need you again
I've learned to hide my fear in my bones
My body don't shake like the kids
But I'm easily scared and often confused
I rarely know what I did
I've made mistakes, and even worse than that
I've hurt the ones that I love
I wish that peace would find me here
But it seldom ever does
I'm in the shadows of Heaven and Earth
Maybe they should be the same
But my Earthly body is bound and conflicted
And I'm left feeling the pain
This house is not our only home
You can't protect love with stone
God I know you can hear me
So please come near me
I'm ready to let the world go

Father of 5, loving wife. So much we've done, so much we still have to do. Faith in God as the foundation. This song hits hard. So good.

[@christyschmidphotography]

Absolutely love this song. It brings tears to my eyes as I navigate all my kids being out of the house and in college or beyond. In a blink of an eye they grow up and it is quiet, but I know God is always there...

[@jamesstevenson4045]

Loved your music & lyrics for years. I don't ever comment. Tonight, I must. I turned 50 years old last April and this song...THIS song...these LYRICS describe me from 18 yrs old; to today. And my call to God . . . . Every. Single. Day. Unbelieveable how y'all did it. I guess God decided it was time to write my 32 year stuggle and put it to song. Gotta go now....can't see through the tears.

[@Earendil82]

Really touched listening to this tonight.

[@adamvogel8176]

This one hits me right in the gut, but in a good way.

[@The-Real-Blissful-Ignorance]

This is my favorite song on the album. As a 50 year old man, I relate to the words: "Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now, but you won't always be." Trust me, life will pass in the blink of an eye.

[@florametsas5842]

I'll be honest, this is one of the few songs I've ever listened to and cried to. Thank you NEEDTOBREATHE, thank you for your beautiful art, I've needed this.

[@The-Dom]

check out Nathaniel Rateliff. He's amazing.
