Lie Me Down

In the long cold rain
In the eyes of a hurricane
When they all stand still and the levee breaks
I'll be waiting
To find my place in the tidal wave

I never get around to the things that I know so well
They run deep like a five-ton elephant
I hear the water getting taller don't you see that swell
She said she'll come if I don't stop livin

Lie me down
I broke all my bridges
Take my crown
And pull off these stitches
For the debt left in my bones
All the tickets that I owe
Lie me down, down, so I can get up again
So I can get up again

By the night, I'll be lost again
Counting stars in the back of my Honda
20 miles from the place that I fell in
Drawing lines in the sky on the highest hillside
Wondering what could have, probably should have
How many times did I have the chance to fight

I never get around to the things that I know so well
They run deep like a five-ton elephant
I hear the water getting taller don't you see that swell
She said she'll come if I don't stop livin

Lie me down
I broke all my bridges
Take my crown
And pull off these stitches
For the debt left in my bones
All the tickets that I owe
Lie me down, down, so I can get up again
So I can get up again

As long as I can breathe the flood will come for me
And I'll take her hand and watch the fallin through the waves
Drift me down the streets like deadwood call me by my name, hot thunder
hurtin under my veins, girl just throw me back

Lie me down
I broke all my bridges
Take my crown
And pull off these stitches
For the debt left in my bones
All the tickets that I owe
Lie me down, down, so I can get up again
Cause I can get up again

Take my crown and pull off these stitches
