Lyrics
SAVING ME
WOKE UP, THE PLACE WAS A MESS
I DIDN'T BOTHER TO GET MYSELF DRESSED
OPENED THE FREEZER AND STARED AT THE FROST
I'M SO COLD AND LOST
CAFFEINE, THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED
HERE'S SOME OLD JOE, I DRINK IT REHEATED
FEELING BITTER I SCALDED MY TONGUE
I BURNED OUT SO YOUNG
CHORUS
WHY DO I FEEL SO DOWN AND LOW
WHAT COULD IT BE
WHAT IS IT THE HAPPY PEOPLE KNOW
I WISH I KNEW THE TRICK
TO SAVING ME
SAT DOWN AND PICKED UP A BOOK
I READ IT LAST YEAR SO NOW I JUST LOOK
AT ALL THE CRAP HERE, IT'S CROWDING MY SOUL
I'M DOWN IN A HOLE
OUTSIDE, JUST RIGHT 'CROSS THE STREET
THERE IS A GAME ON OF HIDE-AND-GO-SEEK
AND THERE'S THIS ONE KID, SHE'S WEARING MY FACE
AFRAID TO LEAVE BASE
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
BECAUSE I CAN'T SLEEP WHEN I GO TO BED
'CAUSE WHAT IF I CAN'T LEAP THE MOUNTAINS AHEAD
BUT JUST THE SAME CAN'T KEEP FROM THINKING INSTEAD
THAT IF I DO WHAT I CAN FOR TODAY
MAYBE SOON I WILL FIND MY OWN WAY
SEEKING I SUDDENLY WONDERED
WHY I'M HIDING, I COUNT TO A HUNDRED
MY EYES OPEN TO SEE WHAT I GOT
I'M READY OR NOT
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
