Bob Lind (The Only Way Is Down)

Lyrics

When you think you're treading water But you're just learning how to drown And a song comes on the radio Telling you that "The Only Way is Down" You're out of luck, you're out of time, get out of here Your lover just traded you in For the very same model, but a much more recent year It will not stop, it will get worse from day to day Till you admit that you're a fuck-up like the rest of us Oh, that's the time you fall apart And that's the time the teardrops start And that's the time you fall in love again Yeah, that's the time you fall in love again The recreational pursuits that made you shine Have worn you thin And it's oh so fine getting out of your mind As long as you can find your way back in You want someone to screw your brains out I'd say they're running out of time And they'd only go and cut themselves On the daggers of your mind This is your future This is the sentence you must serve Till you admit that you're a fuck-up like the rest of us Oh, that's the time you fall apart That's the time the teardrops start And that's the time you fall in love again When you've had enough, when you've had too much When you got knocked down and you never got up Well, that's the time you fall in love again Oh, when you walked into the room I could not breathe, I could not speak Please can I hide myself inside you? As far inside you as it's possible to be Can you assist me? I could not make it on my own Can I give you all the love I have? It's not much, but I'll try and raise a loan I have no pride left, no, no There is nothing I'm trying to prove Oh no, I am a fuck-up just the same as you Oh, I guess this is where I fall apart And I guess this is where the teardrops start But I don't care 'cause I just fell in love again And I'd had enough, well, far too much I just fell down, could you please help me up? 'Cause if you help me, maybe I could fall in love again Na na na na na na Na na na na na na
