Intro

 

Verse 1

Used to find you in the sunset
Used to feel you on the breeze
Used to have your arms around me
Every time I hit my knees
And I'm not sure when I lost it
Was prob'ly somewhere in between
Havin' one drink at a party
And a shooter in my coffee
When it turned from a want to a need
Well, half of me is climbin' a mountain
The other half's draggin' me down again

Chorus

They say, "Be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But every day I go to places I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
'stead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, oh
Whatever whiskey brings me, sure ain't God
So, why am I lookin' for your message in a bottle?

Verse 2

I got one hand on the Bible
The other pourin' eighty proof
I swear I can control it
But deep down, I know it's an excuse
And it turns out that runnin' from me
Feels like hidin' from you
And I don't wanna hide

Chorus

They say, "Be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But every day I go to places I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
'stead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, oh
Whatever whiskey brings me, sure ain't God
So, why am I lookin' for your message in a bottle?
Your message in a bottle

Bridge

I don't wanna be numb
But I don't wanna face this
I've been lookin' up
Askin' how to change it
I can feel your love
Showin' me what grace is

Chorus

They say, "Be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But every day I go to places I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
'stead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, oh
Whatever whiskey brings me, sure ain't God
G A N.C.
So, why am I lookin' for your message in a bottle?
