lyrics

Say a little prayer for the one that you always kick and fight and come running back to. Keep a little prayer right on the tip of your tongue for one you feel is far beneath you, but as good as many, and maybe better than some. If you’d give a little damn for the wrent and the shook. If you’d shed a single tear for the time it took. If you’d fall in and take a hit for the pale and waning rays of your darker sun fell down onto my perfect day. Why’d you get me so high knowing you’d never stay? So high that I would fall to you any day. So high that I could never get level without you around. So, speak a word in tune to a troubled mind. Shed a little light of a helping kind. I’d give everything within if I could learn to live without you.
Love’s the way they say is real, but I still have my doubts.
Why’d you get me so high knowing you’d never stay? So high that I would fall to you any day. So high that I could never get level without you around. And if it’s all the same to you I don’t want to fight or fuss. It’s just I seem to find love alone it sometimes ain’t enough. It’s just I seem to find there’s the lucky and the rest of us get taken for a ride. I’d give away my records. Everything I’ve ever owned. I’ve lost all faith and interest in feeling almost always gone. I’m standing up and I’m drowning in a big bad screaming sound. I can’t shake you. I can’t make you love me.
You and me.
We are the same.
