Unknown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This doubt is screaming in my face
In this familiar place
Sheltered and concealed
And if this night won’t let me rest
Don’t let me second-guess
What I know to be real
Put away all I know for tonight
And maybe I just might
Learn to let it go
Take my security from me
And maybe finally
I won’t have to know everything

[Chorus]
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It’s the unknown, the don’t know
That keeps me hangin' on and on and on to you

[Verse 2]
I got nothing left to defend
Oh, I cannot pretend
That everything makes sense
But does it really matter now
If I do not know how
To figure this thing out?
[Chorus]
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It’s the unknown, the don’t know
That keeps me hangin' on and on and on to you

[Bridge]
I’m against myself again
Tryna fit these pieces in
Walking on a cloud of dust to
Get to you

[Chorus]
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It’s the unknown, the don’t know
That keeps me hangin' on
And I am falling into grace
To the unknown, to where you are and
Faith makes everybody scared
It’s the unknown, the don’t know
That keeps me hanging on and on and on to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

According to the guitar tab book of the album, Jason Wade says:

“I wrote that with (manager) Jude Cole and (producer) Rob Aniello. I wasn’t planning on co-writing with anyone, but Jude had the chorus, ” I am falling into grace, to the unknown to where you are and faith makes everybody scared, it’s the unknown the don’t-know , that keeps me hanging onto you", I really connected to it and it totally fits my other lyrics. I wrote the verses to it and the bridge and it all went together. I like writing with other people. It depends on the mood I’m in, though. Most of the time I write by myself, but if the mood’s right. It’s fun to collaborate.
