Current Listening: "Cadence" by Anberlin

Write down,to remind yourself on how it can be
Heartstrings, you're tugging at my heartstrings
Helpless, I have become so helpless to your touch
touch me somehow
Restless, you leave me restless
breathless wait for me

The closer I come to you
the closer I am to finding God
You're a miracle to me
The closer I come to you
the closer I am to finding God
You're a miracle to me

Burning, like Joan of Arc to see you, just to feel you
Cadence, I would dance with the dead cause I believe
yes I believe, yes I believe
Stifle, Paul said that you stifle him
again and again and again

And if these are my parting words
Then this, my last request
Hold me here, until I sleep
If I burn, then I burn for you

What author Stephen Christian says of the song:

"My brother Paul and I both went to the University of Central Florida together (and incidentally played rugby side by side for UCF). He majored in Psychology and I in Philosophy. To save money we rented a house with some friends in Orlando and me and Paul shared a room. Late at night we would have theological conversations ranging from the omnipotence of God to pre-destination. I formulated the line because the whole song is central to the holy spirit (hence; "the closer I come to you (the holy spirit), the closer I am to finding God), and one of the insolvable equations of God was the complex workings of holy spirit, and his involvement with mankind, and that my friend is where the line was created."
