(I.) Somehow You Love Me
My heart is gone, it drove to the shore
Swam out in the night, way out past the lines
I heard that now it lives in the South
Of West Central Spain, drinking off the pain
Cause inside I'm broke, I'm cracked, I'm alone
No hope for a change, no way to erase
The world would be better without me
So how could this be, somehow you love me?
(II.) Fucked Up Past the Point of Fixing
Stepped out to see the stars fall alone on the neighbor's lawn
I held my hand up, my head down, waiting to hear your call
I thought I saw your headlights in the dark driving by our house
I'm going out my mind
I'm giving up the fight this time
Love me or let go
No longer care if I die alone
Whole world is waiting, watching to see when you're gonna fall
10,000 faces staring, your back is against the wall
Fucked up past the point of fixing, so tell me what went wrong
I'm going out my mind
I'm giving up the fight this time
Love me or let go
No longer care if I die alone
Cause in the darkness of my mind I used to dream of suicide
I'm gonna pull myself out before I die
I'm going out my mind
I'm giving up the fight this time
Love me or let go
No longer care if I die alone
(III.) 8 AM
Now it's 8 in the morning
Up all night just walking around
I'm hiding out here under the window
By the sink where we used to laugh all day long
I wait 'til I see you walking
From the bedroom down to the kitchen
Fingering your hair into curls while talking
On the phone resting on your collarbone
Here I come again, head is hanging low
You put down the phone, take me in your arms
And I'm all alone with you, my love
Did you hear me coming?
Running over the words I said last night
While wishing I never saw your eyes swell up
With tears dripping down your thighs
I can't let it go, I'm lost inside
I can get so low, seems like there's no up
And I'm all alone so take me in your arms
Knowing I'm the one
(IV.) Zig Zag
I turn around to say, "How could you still love me?"
Sun is shining, lighting up your face
You stare off into space, not knowing what to say
Searching for the words to set things straight
So I say, "I'm a zig zag, sideways upside down, out of my mind
What's the point of living if we're all just born to die?"
You say, "Why, why ask why?"
I say, "I get fucked up."
You say, "Delusional."
Somehow will you still open your arms?
"Come with me." you say, we step outside to face the sun
Yesterday I dreamed that it would all burn down to dust
(V.) Daybreak
Take a breath, turn around
See the sun come through the clouds
The light alive in your eyes
Standing here by your side
Arm in arm under the sky
I know I want to hold on
The letters left on the lawn
The shadows crawling the wall
The mirror shatters and falls
I've been lost for so long
No more will to carry on
So dark and dead and diseased
Nothing left in the end
And to pray is to pretend
I'm tired of trying to believe
So can we learn to forgive?
I want to hold you again
Can we remember our love?
I can get so low, seems like there's no up
And I'm all alone so take me in your arms
Knowing I'm the one
