The Average

[Verse 1]
No one told me I would suffer
No one told me I would grieve
They told me, "Live the way you want to"
You still inherit eternity

[Pre-Chorus]
But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
No, I can tell it's a lie, here's why

[Chorus]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long

[Verse 2]
Now there are moments where I am faithful
But I do it for worldly gain
And if it doesn’t come I will seethe and
Run to wrong my selfish drain

[Pre-Chorus]
But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
No, I can tell it's a lie, here's why

[Chorus]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
And I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long

[Bridge]
The truth is, don’t be surprised when trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night

[Chorus]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long

Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
'Til the leaves start changing colors
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long

[Outro]
The truth is, don't be surprised when trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night
