lyrics

“Leave your bags at the door”, he said.
“We give no quarter to brokenness here.
It’s not that we mean to be cold or insincere
We just can't let the darkness in”

So I turned around and excused myself
I’m looking for a place where I can find some help
Take the plastic smiles, put ‘em on the shelf
We’re not fooling anyone

Chorus:
Hey, I got lost against a blue sky
We sit around and wonder why
nothing ever changes
But you and I were made for more than smiles
Honey, we don't live in the house with the sunflowers.

Man of Sorrows that's who He was
Poured out His life for each of us
Homeless, He laid His head in the dust
There is no hurt He hasn't felt

And if we would claim to walk in His way
We must expect our share of rain
It falls on the righteous just the same
as anyone

Chorus:
Hey, I got lost against a blue sky
Potlucks and apple pies
and nothing ever changes
But you and I were made for more than smiles
Honey, we don't live in the house with the sunflowers.

We stared across the table tonight
Between a dripping tap and a burned-out light
What we've got ain't perfect. Hey but it's alright
There’s no point in tryin’ to fake it

Joy will come in its own time
Can’t churn it out on an assembly line
In the midst of hurts and troubled times
It lies waiting....

Chorus:
Hey, I got lost against a blue sky
Pressed shirts and silk ties
and nothing ever changes
But you and I were made for more than smiles
Honey, we don't live in the house with the sunflowers.
