Headstrong Lyrics
Controlled, moderate, plastic
Aware and openly perfect
To know everything
And not see anything
Ingest completely impressive
You wear the law as a jacket
It keeps you warm
It keeps you warm
And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Good enough, how sure a foundation
Trip on your graceful emotion
You remember it all
Then cover it all
And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
It keeps you warm
It keeps you warm
And I don't know what you've been told, but it's wrong
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Aware and openly perfect
To know everything
And not see anything
You wear the law as a jacket
It keeps you warm
It keeps you warm
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Trip on your graceful emotion
You remember it all
Then cover it all
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
It keeps you warm
And I can't hold you when you fall so headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong
Headstrong, headstrong

This one's from the various artists project "Roaring Lambs" that came out in 2000, themed around the idea of Christian art making an impact on culture outside of the Church.
The song appears to be about legalism, and the frustrating and seemingly fruitless endeavor of trying to talk a legalist out of their reasons for being so hard-nosed. It's an exploration of what it looks like when people within the Church act in a way that is contrary to their purported belief in the concept of grace.
