[Verse 1: Dallas Green]
I awoke, only to find my lungs empty
And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down
And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say, which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
[Chorus: Dallas Green]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Verse 2: Gordon Downie]
I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
Oh, how I'm breaking down
[Chorus: Dallas Green]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Post-Chorus: Dallas Green]
Oh, in my life
[Outro: Dallas Green]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (Save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (Save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?
