No, no, no, no, no, not yet
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
News says that Nashville will be buried by nightfall
It’s just a snow day until I get a phone call
You’re timid, admitting that you’ve been living out your car
I’m frantic, panic, tryna figure out where you’re parking
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
Below freezing, sudden sleeting, cold as Tennessee gets
You’re asking if I’m there and I say, “No, not yet”
I hydroplaned up the highway, going barely fifteen
And prayed to the God Mom used to make us watch on TV
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
And when I dropped you off at the mission
Cried till I couldn’t drive
And then the label wrote back, they don’t think I’m there yet
God, what impeccable time
In California, I’m on tour when I get told the bad news
You were brought in for infection and you have surgery soon
I haven’t seen you in eight months, kinda thought you might be dead
Two thousand miles, and I find out, no, not yet
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
You had hunger hallucinations
Confessed what they were about
You said you knew it wasn’t real
When you called my name and I didn’t turn around
I’m in West Palm and I wake up to two things alarming
Tornado sirens and your text says, “I love you, I’m sorry”
I call the rehab, ask if they have an open bed for you
Rushed of relief when you agreed after I said that they do
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
And then I took us out to the country
Played you what I wrote when you left
And you asked me if I believed in God
And I said, “No, not yet”
No, no, no, no, no, not yet
