"Message In A Bottle" lyrics

I used to find you in the sunset
I used to feel you on the breeze
I used to have your arms around me every time I hit my knees
And I'm not sure when I lost it
Was probably somewhere in between
Having one drink at a party and a shooter in my coffee
When it turned from a want to a need

Half of me is climbing a mountain
The other half's dragging me down again

They say "be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But everyday I go to places
I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
Instead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, ohh
Whatever whiskey brings me
Sure ain't God so
Why am I looking for your message in a bottle?

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

They say "be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But everyday I go to places
I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
Instead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, ohh
Whatever whiskey brings me
Sure ain't God so
Why am I looking for your message in a bottle?

Your message in a bottle
Oh

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

They say "be still and know"
And I swear I try to
But everyday I go to places
I won't find you
Barstools, dark rooms, and late nights
Instead of deep breaths, back pews, and sunrise, ohh
Whatever whiskey brings me
Sure ain't God, so
Why am I looking for Your message in a bottle?
