[Verse 1]
They said he'd split the sky in two
Trumpets
Thunder
Holy proof
But the clouds just drift and fade
Like every deadline ever made
I’m checking watches
Scrolling feeds
Same old prayers
Same old needs
If he booked a return flight here
The gate’s been closed for years
[Chorus]
Jesus isn’t coming back
He wasn’t nailed to a boomerang
You can send him out
He won’t swing round
On a dusty outback wind to land
If faith is on a baggage rack
It’s stuck in some lost-luggage van
Jesus isn’t coming back
He wasn’t nailed to a boomerang (hey)
[Verse 2]
Some folks point south on the map
Say he’s barefoot in the red dirt flats
Sharing bread with kangaroos
Blessing barbecues
But the kookaburras laugh on cue
At every wild excuse
Maybe love already came
And left the keys with you
[Chorus]
Jesus isn’t coming back
He wasn’t nailed to a boomerang
You can send him out
He won’t swing round
On a dusty outback wind to land
If heaven’s on a cul-de-sac
It’s somewhere in your neighbor’s hands
Jesus isn’t coming back
He wasn’t nailed to a boomerang (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
So here’s to empty skies above
And all this ordinary love
No secret second show tonight
Just strangers trying to get it right
[Chorus]
Jesus isn’t coming back
He wasn’t nailed to a boomerang
So we pass the cup
We clean the mess
Learn to hold our damage and our thanks
If miracle means “you and me”
Trying hard to understand
Maybe that’s the only fact
That ever really boomerangs
