I can smell the death on the sheets
Covering me
I can't believe this is the endBut this is my deathbed
I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be homeThe year was nineteen forty one
I was eight years old and
Far, far too young
To know that the stories
Of battles and glories
Was a tale a kind mother
Made up for her son
You see
Dad was a traveling preacher
Teaching the words of the Teacher
And mother had sworn he
Went off to the war
And died there with honor
Somewhere on a beach there
But he left once to never return
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Whatever I thought a father should be
I abandoned that thought
Like he abandoned meBy forty seven I was fourteen
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
I smoked until I threw up
Yet I still lit 'em up
For thirty more years
Like a machineSo right there you have it
That one filthy habit
Is what got me where I am todayI can smell the death on the sheets
Covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories
Still haunting me
So many things
I'd do againBut this is my deathbed
I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be homeI got married on March twenty first
Eight months before my wife would give birth
It's easier to be sure you love someone
When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
The union was far from harmonious
No two people could have been more alone than us
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myselfFrom there it's your typical spiel
Yeah if life was a highway
I was drunk at the wheel
I was seeing the loose ends
All fall apart
Yeah I swear I was destined to fail
And fail from the startI bowled about six times a week
The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
The marriage had taken a seven-ten split
And along with my pride the ex-wife took the kidsI can smell the death on the sheets
Covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories
Still haunting me
So many things
I'd do againBut this is my deathbed
I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight
I know I'll be homeI was so scared of Jesus
But He sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs
That's killing me now
And I've given up hope
On the days I have left
But I cling to the hope
Of my life in the next
Then Jesus showed up
Said, "Before we go up
I thought that we might reminisce
See one night in your life
When you turned out the light
You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"You cried wolf
The tears they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs
You said, "What have I done?"
You loved that Lamb
With every sinful bone
And there you wept alone
Your heart was so contriteYou said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day please take me home with you"I can smell the death on the sheets
Covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear You whisper to me,
"It's time to leave
You'll never be lonely again"But this was my deathbed
I died there alone
When I closed my eyes tonight
You carried me home[Jon Foreman of Switchfoot sings, as the voice of Jesus:]
I am the Way
Follow Me
And take My hand
And I am the Truth
Embrace Me and you'll understand
And I am the Life
And through Me you'll live again
For I am Love
I am Love
I, I am Love

Все трое парней ходили в одну церковь в городе Кантон (штат Огайо), вместе играли на гитарах, и сочиняли свои песни, мечтая о группе. В те ранние годы ребята висели на музыке NoFX, Blink 182, The Matches, Weezer, Jethro Tull, Ben Folds и Beach boys. Из христианских групп ребята слушали Mxpx, Ghoti Hook, Five Iron Frenzy, Slick Shoes, OC Supertones и т.п.Когда Мэтт Тиссон был... продолжение
