I was huddled in a doorway
Fighting off a trance
With my bag pulled to my chest
She asked me if I was waiting for something
I said the answer one thousand times over was yes
Pre-Chorus
Well here I am or a shadow of me
Oh but deep down inside
My heart runs free
verse 2
I was a used shoe salesman
And I was working the graveyard shift
I was listening for the bell on the door
when you walk in
I was living in the weeds somewheres
And I was breathing through a straw in the swamp
And I was gasping for air wondering what it was for
But I've a child now and she's better than me
But deep down inside, I hope she makes the same mistakes as me
But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
verse 3
By picking up our feet
I was wandering around in the streets somewheres outside of Eden
She came down and let me in
And then she left for the light
And I was creeping through, through the brush and the shadows
Man, I was scared for my life
But I am saved now, somebody died for my sins
And I'm so glad, it wasn't me
Sometimes love's not such a crazy thing,
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
Oh just for another day
Not by walking away
Now stay
But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
Just one other day
