Hyland, “Jumping the Gun”

Debuting Contemporary Christian rock band Hyland released its carrier single, “Jumping the Gun,” to Christian rock radio last year, but it’s really picking up now. Tooth and Nail Records is pushing “Jumping the Gun,” an absolute killer track, and airplay is building up for the Minneapolis Christian rockers. Quotients, the band’s independent EP, was produced by Skillet’s Ben Kasica and Acceptance’s Nick Rad; the major label debut on Tooth and Nail, Weights and Measures, drops across the USA May 3rd. What do y’all think? I predict a Top 15 finish.

JUMPING THE GUN Lyrics
Hyland

I think I’m sick of second best and silver medals
Another trophy of regret that says I could have done better
I wish that I could restart with all momentum
With better luck and better cards and my best intentions

All I know, is I should
I should have thought things over
And all I know is
I could have done this better

I’m jumping the gun
Taking the wheel
Fighting wounds that just won’t heal
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way
I’m holding my breath
I’m chasing a dream
I’m out on a limb
You’re there with me
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way
(hard to believe it)

And these old habits
They die hard
‘Cause friction finds me weak
I think I’ve taken them too far
These addictions always bleed

I know I should
I should have thought things over
And all I know is
I could
I could have done this better

I’m jumping the gun
Taking the wheel
Fighting wounds that just won’t heal
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way
I’m holding my breath
I’m chasing a dream
I’m out on a limb
You’re there with me
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way

I am out on the edge
And I am taking a stand
And I know You’ll catch me when I fall
I am out on the edge
And I am taking a stand
And I know You’ll catch me when I fall

I’m jumping the gun
Taking the wheel
Fighting wounds that just won’t heal
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way
I’m holding my breath
I’m chasing a dream
I’m out on a limb
You’re there with me
And I’m trusting You
Faith will make a way

Hard to believe it
Hard to believe it
And I’m trusting
Hard to believe it
