"Not Yet" lyrics

No, no, no, no, no, not yet
No, no, no, no, no, not yet

News says that Nashville will be buried by nightfall
It's just a snow day until I get your phone call
You're timid, admitting that you've been living out your car
I'm frantic, panicked, tryna figure out where you're parked

No, no, no, no, no, not yet

Below freezing, sudden sleeting, cold as Tennessee gets
You're asking if I'm there and I say, "No, not yet"
I hydroplaned up the highway, going barely fifteen
And prayed to the God Mom used to make us watch on TV

No, no, no, no, no, not yet

And when I dropped you off at the mission
Cried till I couldn't drive
And then the label wrote back
They don't think I'm there yet
God, what impeccable time

In California, I'm on tour when I get told the bad news
You were brought in for infection and you have surgery soon
I haven't seen you in eight months, kinda thought you might be dead
Two thousand miles, and I find out: no, not yet

No, no, no, no, no, not yet

You had hunger hallucinations
Confessed what they were about
You said you knew it wasn't real
When you called my name and I didn't turn around

I'm in West Palm and I wake up to two things alarming
Tornado sirens and your text says, "I love you. I'm sorry."
I call the rehab, ask if they have an open bed for you
Rush of relief when you agreed after they said that they do

No, no, no, no, no, not yet

And then I took us out to the country
Played you what I wrote when you left
And you asked me if I believed in God
And I said, "No, not yet"

No, no, no, no, no, not yet
