Nobody wants to get lost in the crowd / Buried beneath the ambient sounds / Under the beat of a million hearts, finding You can be the hardest part / Well, I found my way to trouble, I found my way to pain / Oh, but I’m so tired of trying to find my own way // So I want to get lost, I want to get lost in Your arms / I want to get lost and lose my way into Your heart / ‘Cause there’s so many voices telling me how to get lost in this life / So right now, I want to get lost in You before I lose myself // I never imagined at the start the thousand ways I could find my heart / Caught in a web of compromise / Stuck in the prison of my own lies / It was easy to find my way in, not as easy to get out / Oh, the roads to my own ruin are too easily found // And I’m tired of trying to find my own way / And I’m tired of playing the mouse in the maze / Like I’m memorizing the same old phrase / Just repeating my steps to the same old place / Oh, I want to get lost tonight

Behind the Song:
'This song talks about how often our first instinct as humans is to try and find our own way. Like a road trip without GPS, we seek a destination and we follow down paths with familiar scenery. In spiritual terms, every time we rely on our own intelligence to make it down one of these paths, we take a wrong turn at compromise and end up in the same old places of trouble and bewilderment. We’ll never make it through the maze on our own. The only way to keep from getting lost this way is to get lost in the arms of God.' - Sanctus Real
