i had a moment with this song.

OK. so i was driving through trenton the other day and I was listening to the Ryan Adams song "Come Pick Me Up" and for some reason the words just struck me like they hadn't ever before; particularly the chorus...

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater

With an old love letter
I wish you would

I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Theyre all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you would
When youre walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes

Do they all look like mine
You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again

I wish you would
I wish youd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe youll rest sometime
I wish I could

And i was thinking about how many times i see situations like this is my own life and in the people around me's lives. how we live for the drama, how we'll sell ourselves out for things that are just going to screw us over and tear us to shreds, and then we'll sit there and wait for it to happen again. i really felt the truth and the weight of these words.

but thank the Lord that he is faithful, that he is the one thing that we can worship and completely sell ourselves to that will always be looking out for our best interests. he really is the only place for our hope.
