"Call You" lyrics

"Call You"

Since I can't call you anymore
I'm gonna take a drive
Straight through the burning desert
Till I reach that Western auto sign
I'll find a song inside the jukebox
Take my boots out on the floor
I'll lift my head and close my eyes
Since I can't call you anymore

Rusty cars and headless angels
Can never bring you home
Bullet holes from restless souls
Still rattle in my bones
But I will not stop trying
For what I'm trying for
Even if I can't call you anymore

Since I can't call you anymore
I'm gonna go outside
Push my fingers in the dirt
And plant the seeds inside
I'll watch them as they grow
And I'll pray the rain will pour
I'll whisper to the wind
Since I can't call you anymore

Jesus, help me through this
Teach me how to calm the waters
'Cause we can drown in guilt and shame
When it comes to sons and daughters
But I will not stop living
For what I'm living for
Even if I can't call you anymore

I've got a picture of your smile
I keep it in the drawer
Sometimes I hold it to my chest
Since I can't call you anymore

Jesus, help me through this
Teach me how to calm the waters
'Cause we can drown in guilt and shame
When it comes to sons and daughters
But I will not stop living
Yeah, I don't wanna stop living
Oh, I will not stop living
Even if I can't call you anymore
