Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a pre-arranged marriage
The youth pastor from my parish
Pledged to marry the 10th grade girl from down the street
Strange way to start a song
Even stranger to belong
To that same youth group when I was just fifteen
[PreChorus]
And to this day, I still don't understand
All the things that masquerade as God
But talk like businessmen
[Chorus]
'Cause tonight, I swim in oceans untamed
She's mine and I am hers
And we both float the same
And somewhere in the darkness
I hear you call my name
Saying, "Meet me in the darkness"
Meet me in the darkness
[Verse 2]
Missionary positions
Of the Spanish Inquisition
And apologetics that rarely apologize
Crucifix collisions
Paradoxical traditions
And theodicy that keeps me up at night
[PreChorus]
When the tide is full and I can't sleep
I hear the deep is calling out the deepest parts of me
[Chorus]
And tonight, I swim in oceans untamed
She's mine and I am hers
And we both float the same
And somewhere in the darkness
I hear you call my name
Meet me in the darkness
Meet me in the darkness
[Bridge]
My glass house ammunition casts
The first stones of ambition past
The stained glass of the mission
Between Christendom and Christian
[Verse 3]
But at night, I know the sun is still there
Even in the dark when I'm undone with despair
Where I sing these broken songs
Like a candle, like a prayer
[Outro]
"Meet me in the darkness"
Come meet me in the darkness
Meet me in the darkness
You meet me in the darkness
