Song lyrics
I'm on the corner
Waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know you're alone
It's cold in the desert
Water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound

You told me you loved me
That I'd never die alone
Hand over your heart
Let's go home
Everyone noticed
Everyone has seen the signs
I've always been known to cross lines

I never ever cried
When I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound
Jesus don't love me
No one ever carried my load
I'm too young to feel this old
Here's to you
Here's to me
On to us nobody knows
Nobody sees
Nobody but me

One of the most beautiful and saddest songs I ever heard. And they recorded this in one take!!!

"Jesus don't love me. No one ever carried my load. I'm too young to feel this old."

I can relate to those words...

After seeing the youtube-clip of Caleb explaining the song, this is simpily one of the most beautiful and painful songs I've ever heard.
So much of his soul are in those lyrics...
They only recorded this song once and that's the cut you hear on the album. Gotta love 'em for not messing with the pureness of it.
Easily my favourite song on OBTN
