"there must be better news" lyrics

There must be better news
On the gold coast
Then we got here in the buckle
I've been head down in this town
Too scared to move a muscle
While they were spreading diseases
In the name of Jesus
We're fresh out of leaders
But if we'd just believe it, oh

I can't go through that again
Can't fall in that trap again

I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
How can I know if you're ever listening?
When I spill my guts and I empty my lungs
How can I know you care?
How can I know you're there at all?

I've been searching for you
Since I lost you
On the beach in Carolina I've been
To gurus and front pews and can't seem to find ya
I went from Lau Tsu to Rumi
Hoping you still knew me
You say nothing to me
But my mother says you're talking through me
I wish I could let you take the wheel
I can't go through that again
I can't fall in that trap again
I can't count on you anymore
Not like I did before
How can I know if you're ever listening
When I spill my guts
And I empty my lungs
How can I know you care?
How can I know you're there at all?
