Relient K is an American Christian rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen, Brian Pittman, and Matt Hoopes during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
The group is associated with the Contemporary Christian Music culture, most notably the Christian rock and Christian punk scene. Despite being a Christian band the group has performed alongside secular artists. The band has reached critical success with mainstream pop punk and alternative rock. The band's sound incorporates piano and acoustic elements; and the lyrical content often refers to God, Jesus, and the terms "You" and "Him" are used in reference to God. Since its formation, Relient K has released six studio albums, seven EPs, two Christmas albums, and one collection of rarities. The band has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award nomination in 2003 for Best Rock Gospel Album and two Dove Awards.
Relient K is best known commercially for their two studio albums which peaked in the top 15 of the US Billboard 200 chart. After signing with Capitol Records, they broke into the mainstream in 2004 with the release of Mmhmm, which debuted at #15 on the Billboard 200. In 2007, their fifth album brought the most success for Relient K, Five Score and Seven Years Ago debuted at #6 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 60,000 records in its debut week. The band has sold over 2 million records, with three albums being given gold certification by the RIAA. The band is also highly successful throughout the Christian Albums and Contemporary Christian Music charts. Their newest album Forget and Not Slow Down was released on October 6, 2009.
Lyrics:
I better rest my eyes
Cause I'm growing weary of this point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don't you just verbalize all the things that you're trying to say
Thought this would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see that instead its trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable
Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if words are probably going to hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say
What it is you're thinking though I'm thinking its not what I want to hear
I better check my pride
Because I was starting to think that I was on to something good
But things started to slide
And I sit here in retrospect understanding that I misunderstood
Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut rather than just opening it up
And I'll try to guess what goes on in your head
Cause in your mind I just might find
All those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to make you not regret anything
But later on after I'm gone
You'll wish you listened to me
Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if the words are going to hurt we're better off this way
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway
