What Miracle Lyrics

I was waiting for some kind of message or a sign

I kept staring into space at a moonless sky

I kept wishing that you were mine

Until I saw you at a table of emptiness divine

Picking through the remnants of a wedding feast

And emptying bottles of wine

I've spent all my life, sitting here waiting for the miracle

I used to lie awake nights, just a praying that you would call

But I guess that wasn't a miracle at all

I was on my knees on a humid Sunday morn

I kept bowing my head in unworthiness

I kept wishing I had never been born

Until I felt the holy water dripping

Through where my shirt was torn

Seeping through a fracture of innocence

While my heart was losing its form

I've spent all my life, sitting here waiting for the miracle

I used to lie awake nights, just a praying that you would call

But I guess that wasn't a miracle at all

Now I'm burying eyes that used to break into my dreams

Just writing a song about an accident

And coming apart at the seams

My sarcastic remarks are starting to sound like themes

You were never even close to the miracle

As you balanced on invisible beams
