i follow all the rules well at least i m trying hoping when my days are through you ll be pleased i ve lived the longest days thinking my heart was so bad too scared to look in your face oh if only i had and is it alright if i stay here all night by the shoreline i cannot believe you are angry or unjust you ve done nothing but have compassion on us so be near me when i ve given up be near me i m just like everyone else we are all hiding acting like i have a wealth of knowledge and peace but all i ve ever wanted and what men have given their lives for is a god who understands my weaknesses a god that i can love and is it alright if i stay here all night by the shoreline i cannot believe you are angry or unjust you ve done nothing but have compassion on us so be near me when i ve given up be near me i believe you are good and righteous you ve given me your reckless love so be near be near
