Save Me, Girl

In the Great North Woods Lost and up to no good No good at all Just hoping to kill off the past and I did Next thing I'm breathing my last then I fall And it all seemed so harmless and light So sure I could deal with it all on that night So sure that the weight on my heart marked the last of the past Not so fast It's only the start The voices they fade out and off to the back The dusk turns to night Then to dark then to black As the cars speed away To banish the fact On the cold streets of downtown and never looked back Come and save me, girl Bring me back to the world Not the one I just left Come and save me, girl Cause everything's sadness and badness and death Didn't see no white light Didn't look on myself from any great height No one came to show me the way There was only the black One last gasp And I'm slipping away The blood ran down the street though I can't feel the pain Or hear the thunder that roared as it mixed with the rain As the people pass by on their way to the train The black bloody water It ran down the drain Try and save me, girl Hear me call but I can't make a sound anymore Try and save me, girl Give me a reason to get up off the floor When you're on your way home Wasn't looking for this Busy being alone But you saw and you stopped when no one else would As you went for a pulse though it seemed gone for good The cops don't believe But with nothing to say I reach out for your hand And we just walk away And I asked you again Why'd you bother to care Said you'd seen the light I'd forgotten was there Stopped and watched as the sun climbed up out of the sea You said now you can't let nothing happen to me Then the green of your eyes caught the first rays of dawn And the spark caught to fire and our new love was born And our new love was born You save me, girl One million to one this is how it'd be You save me, girl It's true only you could inspire me You save me, girl Every time I fall into your arms where there's no pain or strife Cause you're amazing, girl My best friend My angel My mystical wife
