lyrics

I always liked how you’d kneel down to tie your shoes up
I’d stand and look at your hair
But I’d get out of there fast, I’d slip my boots on
I never gave you time to stare
I liked the way you’d feel smaller for a second
And I’d stand in silence


Maybe I’ll see you drive by in your car
Maybe you’ll see me walking
I don’t want you knowing anything I'm thinking
I'm just quietly hoping


I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry


I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along


My brothers always would leave the kitchen table
Before saying thank you
They couldn't see what they had
I don't know when it'll be but I say see you
You say nothing again


I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along


Ooh I know what I'm here for
Ooh I'm a sailboat in a storm
Oh I know what I'm here for
Oh I'll sail along in the storm


I know where I’m heading
But I don’t want to wait in line
Unless you’ll be there too
Could I put my hand around your arm


I guess I missed you coming off the highway
You won’t see me and I won’t leave you wondering

I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along

We had a different kind of worship
You were a different kind of person
