I guess it's safe to say
You're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you

And I can't see you
Getting used to
Living in the midst of your perfection
And I'm so lost
How can you trust?
Somewhere the sun is always shining

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
As we reflect on the mess of all of this I've made
It was cowardice that made me push you away
I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you

    i can see how u might think its about a relationship but i think it's about his relationship with jesus, that's why he's saying about coming back (because jesus is suppose to come back), and also midst of your perfection... well, jesus was perfect and sinless, and he's saying jesus isn't going to come back while he's alive (maybe, i'm not sure) so he's got to find a way to get to him where the sun is always shining (heaven)

    but thats just my take, i could be wrong, cool song
