    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song in about two hours one night in April of 2002. It's funny because I didn't know what I was writing until after the first verse. I thought I was writing a love song, hence the "Meanwhile wondering what happened with me and you." However, I realized after the first verse that I was writing a song about God the whole time. So if the first verse seems a touch different then the others, that's why. This is a classic example of a song that I can't play by myself, because it just doesn't sound the same without Tim's guitar and vocal part.

    Lyrics
    I've heard it's been done a time or two before this night
    Cuz I cannot fix the pieces of this broken life
    and I've been searching all around to find the truth
    Meanwhile wondering what happened with me and you

    And everybody's telling me that I should just buck up and deal
    So I can earn another point towards public appeal
    But I just hate sitting idly by, watching this fumble away
    But somehow I need to find the strength, find the words to say

    Chorus
    I'm believing in you for all eternity
    I'm trusting in you for all eternity
    I'm looking to you for all eternity
    I'm believing in you for all eternity
    Cuz you started me

    I don't know how to deal with this, but I thought you'd know
    Cuz too often I like to stir the pity inside and watch it grow
    and like Thomas I can't get my mind around this thing
    it seems like the word "salvation" should have a particular ring

    There's just got to be something more beyond the skies
    The Sun's 93 million miles away, yet it still hurts my eyes
    Yes, I confess my mind has not always played the field
    and I don't know what it's gonna take to make this all seem real, but

    Chorus

    I couldn't see your face the day they put her in the ground
    But knowing me, I probably didn't even look around
    Through shock and tears it's hard to find a reason why
    Do we meet again somewhere up there or do we live until we die?

    Tear down this wall of doubt, pull up the curtain draw back the shade
    Water the roses that grow from the ground where her body was laid
    Show me all the things I fail to see, count my loss as gain
    And tear down all my defenses until this one fact remains

    Chorus
