Survive

Intro: verse 1 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
