[Verse 1]
I drive myself crazy thinking about
You and I, growing love, and taking you out
Long walks and late nights, sitting under stars
Wiping that fine sand from under your arms
The problem is, I don't know how to love
Not the way you need it
I've got an issue with my eyes, and I barely see it
Blind-walking towards Heaven
Tryna take you with me
And I'm backtracking everytime you're not around
Yes, I have a past. I just want it distant
I don't want to reflect and feel like I'm reminiscing
Sick of feeling sorry on this mission, feeling I can barely travel
I'm weak at what I am, and that's Every Man's Battle
I fall to my desires of the flesh
And I avoid the problems that are prior to the rest
Clearing out my mind well-before my time's through
I've gotta get right with God before I get right with you
So, I'mma be

[Chorus]
Gone for a minute, gone for a minute
I'll only be gone for a minute
(x4)

[Verse 2]
I remember your commitment when I wasn't ready
When I had nothing to give and you thought it was plenty
And I remember the first letter you sent me
It said
"we can fly to whereever you want to catch me"
I know your eyes are light brown
And your heart's red
But I bet your mind's blue from being mind-fed
All of my excuses and lies
I should move to side
'cause when you look at it forreal
It's abuse in disguise
I'm a-
Ashamed 'cause I had a revelation
I'm been roughing in a bunch of temptations
And it's crazy 'cause you never lost patience
And you still believe we're guaranteed for greatness

Your the mother of a child that we talk about
Not even conceived, but it's funny
'cause we thought it out
You're physically purified
I'm trying to be mental
Christ in my life is my credential
So I'mma be

[Chorus]
Gone for a minute, gone for a minute
I'll only be gone for a minute
(x4)

[Verse 3]
I'm not afraid of commitment
I just don't wanna fail
To be on the water, and never know how to sail
To promise a love that I don't know how to keep
To tell you I'm strong
Then finding out that I'm weak

I look in your eyes, and see those grains in the sand
I turn away from your gaze, and I forget I'm a man
I confess
I'd rather pay the price
Then tell you later on
And to break your heart twice

I believe and trust God
Much better than myself
Everyday I thank God
For granting me the help
Grace over wealth

Yeah, it's gonna hurt
Deep pain--just a little
I just want Christ to be sitting in the middle

Perfect is unachievable, but I'mma get close
It's loves' words, and I'm glad that I spoke
And, I'mma be

[Chorus]
Gone for a minute, gone for a minute
I'll only be gone for a minute
(x4)

[Outro]
Yeah
There's so much more that I can do to keep you
And now I know exactly where to start
I know your heart is saying
"I believe you"
But I would rather finalize my art

There's so much more that I can do to keep you
And now I know exactly where to start
And I know what your heart is trying to say
To me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
