“I wrote it after a difficult time that I went through with my family. It was kind of about, to be really blunt, watching my sister go through a painful divorce. I think in a family when you’re so close you take on each others pain and infirmities. I sort of wrote a song from her perspective and it...
[Verse 1]
I need an ambulance
I took, I took the worst of the blow
Send me a redeemer
Let me know if I'm gonna be alright
Am I gonna be alright?
'Cause I know how it usually goes
I know how it usually goes
[Verse 2]
I built a monument
For the love we used to know
But that is far removed
And you say that I'm gonna be okay
And yeah, I'm gonna be okay
But it doesn't seem that way
No love, not today
[Chorus]
'Cause I was told to get out, told to leave
Told I have my things in the parking lot
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah
Just send me that ambulance, oh
Just send me that ambulance
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh woah, oh, oh, oh, no, oh, oh
Ooh woah, oh, oh, oh, no, oh
[Verse 3]
Thought you were made for me
And we shared our history
And in time you'll tear your eyes far away
Like a rubbernecker's gaze
And is it really safe to say
That we're just made that way?
Made to brave the pain
[Chorus]
'Cause I was told to get out, told to leave
Told I have my things in the parking lot
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah
Just send me that ambulance, oh yeah
Just send me that ambulance
[Post-Chorus]
Oh woah, oh, oh, oh, no, oh, oh
Oh woah, oh, oh, oh, no, oh
[Verse 1]
I need an ambulance
I took, I took the worst of the blow
Send me a redeemer
Let me know if I'm gonna be alright
Am I gonna be alright?
'Cause I know how it usually goes
I know how it usually goes
