Ashes and Flames

You and I meet
On the shores of the broken
You swallow the ocean
I swallow my pride
Only to see
The way that I need You
Is more than I knew
I ever could
'Cause in between the ashes
And the flames
Is a cry an awkward silence
Could never contain
And the falling of my hammers
And the writhing of my pain
You know, it’s just not as real as the way
That Your calling my name
Well, I can’t help thinking
The way that You want me
And the ghost that haunts me
Are one and the same
'Cause you stand at my window
At night, while I’m sleeping
There’s not a promise I’m keeping
That could ever repay You
In between the ashes
And the flames
There’s a song that burns brighter
Than radio waves
'Bout the remnants of my Idols
'Bout the shadow of my shame
About how they scatter like the rain and I can’t stop crying
'Cause You won’t stop calling my name
Calling my name
Calling my name
Up from the ashes, yeah
