Time I Understood - Lyrics - Wavorly

Wavorly formed in 2001 under the name Freshmen 15, and independently released two albums under this name. The group changed its name after signing to Flicker Records because they "didn't want to be thirty years old and be like, 'I'm in "Freshmen 15". I have three kids.'" The name Wavorly comes from a haunted mansion in West Point, Mississippi. Their major label debut, Conquering the Fear of Flight, was released on Flicker on June 12, 2007, and has lyrics significantly influenced by the writings of C. S. Lewis.

As I'm building up this house I wonder what of it will stay It seems You just take things away And I'll admit I shouldn't say these things But I have got to hear from You somehow Does this have a point to it? God, I wish I could hear You You said You'd help me through this I wish You didn't have to Why did You take this away? I wanted it Show me that there is no need to be afraid Can I move on now that it's gone? As I travel down this road I wonder if I should turn home All this time I've felt alone My head in my hands Where were You when I was in need? And I look back to find You chasing me Sometimes I try and I miss the point of it It's about time we die…we're not down here for us As You're tearing down this house There is only one thing I can say I'm so glad You take away And I'll admit things worked out for the good And it's about time I understood
