Josiah Leming Favorites!

The Last Song

The ship was sinking, we were drinking, singing one last song
casting our gold into the ocean
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming come on, come on
Let's try and slow the downward motion
Back in the kingdom we were kings and queens and oh so strong
That God himself could not contain us
We never thought we'd be the shorter end of sword and gun
Now God himself can never save us
Waves of silver, waves of gold are coming down to take me
Separate my body from my soul and Jesus either leaves or takes me
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell and what's the chance I'll make it
When all my other plans have failed and I have tried so hard to fake it

We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea
Losing our bodies to the ocean
You grabbed my hand and started screaming, rescue me
Lets try and star the downward motion
Back in the kingdom we were kings and queens and oh so strong
That God himself just had to show us
We never thought we'd be the colder side of land and sea
But he's the only one who knows us
Waves of silver, waves of gold are coming down to take me
Separate my body from my soul, and Jesus either leaves or takes me
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell and what's the chance I'll make it
When all my other plans have failed and I have tried so hard to fake it

Her


Car door's frozen
I can't get to you
Your window's open
The cold air's pouring through
Your bones are broken
The belt won't let you loose
And i'm left hoping
That you might wake up soon

I just stand and watch as they pull you from another world
Unraveling twisted plots, oh i wish you were another girl

And i'll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her

Empty hallways
You can't get to me
Open doorways
But you're still searching for your keys
And i can't open
The ears for which i sing
So i'll just pass along
And baby you'll start to hear me

You just sit and stare as if i'm from another land
In your comfortable chair, oh i wish i were another man

And i'll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her

Satisfaction seems to be
The key that turns, the air we breathe
It brings us now so confidently crawling on our knees
So you try to satisfy the hours
But you're ignorance won't fight the fires
And your innocence can't kill desire
So you're not as perfect as you seem to be

I'll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her
I'll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her
And i'll take this world by fire
Cause i'll never...
I'll never satisfy
I'll never satisfy
Her...
