My friend RodeoClown gave me a little feeling of serendipity this evening. He had a post about the lyrics for the Newsboys song “Lost the Plot”. What’s odd is that it was just on the radio as I was in the car earlier and the lyrics struck a cord with me.
Here are the lyrics to the song. I’ve bolded the section that spoke to me this evening. Which section do you hear calling out your name or situation?
Lost the Plot by Newsboys
When you’re coming back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard the rumor that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.sigh
let’s be blunt
I’m a little distracted
What do you want?Headaches and bad faith
they’re all that I got
first I misplaced the ending
then I lost the plotLong among the free-ranged sheep
where the big birds sharpen their claws
for the time we stuck with the shepherd
but you wouldn’t play Santa Claussigh
let’s be blunt
We’re a little distracted
What do you want?Once we could follow
now we cannot
You would not fit our image
so we lost the plotOnce we could hear you
now our senses are shut
We’ve forgotten our first love
we have lost the plot
lost the plotWhen I saw you for the first time
you were hanging with a thief
and I saw my hands were dirty
so I dropped my gaze
but you said I was forgiven
and you welcomed me with laughter
I was happy ever after
and I was counting the days
When you’re coming back again
I’ll be ready for you
When you’re coming back again
We’ll be waiting for you
Maybe we will wake up when
Maybe we will wake up when
You are coming back againlies
let’s be blunt
We’re a little unfaithful
What do you want?Are you still listening?
‘Cause obviously we’re not
We’ve forgotten our first love
We have lost the plotAnd why are you still calling?
You forgave, we forgot
We’re such experts at stalling
we have lost the plot
lost the plot
lost the plot
lost the plotWhen you’re coming back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard the rumour that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here
Thanks RodeoClown! and to LyricsDownload.com for getting him the lyrics.
