Pulling You Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Standing at the edge of the rising tide Watching high water pull you deep inside Insisting the dark water feels like home Swearing you're safe while you sink alone If I just nod along to keep you pleased Call it kindness while you're pulled out to sea That ain't grace, that's a quiet retreat Leaving your soul to the undertow's defeat [Verse 2] Jude wrote the warning to snatch from the flame Not to sit in the ashes and honor the pain If a doctor knows a toxin is taking its toll He speaks the truth to preserve the whole Real grace cuts deep to heal up the core It won't let you settle for less anymore [Pre-Chorus] Proverbs said the wounds of a friend are true While the enemy kisses and abandons you I won't hold my tongue just to keep the peace While you drown in a cycle you won't release [Chorus] Love isn't standing on the shore! Watching you sink while asking for more! Love throws a rope when the current gets rough Even when the truth feels sharp and tough! I love you too much to watch you drift away- I'm pulling you back to the light of day! [Bridge] Don't think I'm shouting down from higher ground I was pulled from these depths when my own soul was drowned We're both in the breakers, we both need the cross Without the same rescue, we're both standing lost I don't throw this rope 'cause I'm better than you- I throw it because I was drowning here too! [Chorus] Love isn't standing on the shore! Watching you sink while asking for more! Love throws a rope when the current gets rough Even when the truth feels sharp and tough! A guard who won't jump in the fight Is calling the darkness a comforting light! I love you too much to watch you drift away- I'm pulling you back to the light of day! [Outro] Snatch from the fire... Hold to the shore... Love speaks the truth... Nothing less, nothing more.
