Darkest Places

I been holding on by a thread
And the wind won't stop blowing this flag round
I been looking out for letters
And waiting for a stranger to come knock me out
I been wandering around like a man
Fought in a war he knows never would be won
Like an empty Budweiser bottle in the window glowin' in the sun
When I'm sinking down that's when I cry out above
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

I've been reading the news and boy it looks so bad
So many people out there really struggling
All these profiteers with all our tears as souvenirs
All the time they're juggling
Well I played the clown and fought
And baby I would do it for you all again
But when the sands are always shiftin'
It's so hard to know exactly where to stand
When I'm sinking down that's when I cry out above
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

Baby I'm so hungry now but I can't reach out
Cause I am freezing to the bone
I don't wanna live without you
Cause I've only learned how to live alone

Now I stand before the door with a handful of keys
And I can't find the lock
I've been riding out on rough seas baby
And you know I'm always seeking out a place to dock
I know a man like me was never really supposed to find
A proper place to rest
And that the stars they shine so bright
Because the sky is always full of all its emptiness

When I'm sinking down that's when I cry out above
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love
Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love
