[Verse 1]

I'm in love with everyone that I see

It’s quite a change from hating everything

I still switch between the two some nights

I'm at odds with every dream that I keep

Some nights I just do my best not to sleep

And I still wish you'd picked me up that night


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Sometimes I think that you say things you don’t mean

Or only do in that one moment you're speaking

You break my heart so easily now, it seems now

That I have no home left to go to


[Chorus 1]

Now I'm only sober half the time

And if you're sick of that get in line

(save my life, save my life, save my life, save my life)

You should see me again some time

I can't be anywhere tonight

(save my life, save my life, save my life, save my life)

I can't be anyone tonight


[Verse 2]

It took such few words then to break me in two

I'm not sure that one word you said was true

But you should have trusted me that night

Hadn't seen color like you in a while

But all that it stood for was lost in the miles

Still, that color will always be yours

I could never wear it right


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Do you think of me some nights?

(think of me, think of me)

Do you think of me?

Yeah I know that it’s not right

(think of me)

And I wish I could get right

(think of me, think of-)


[Chorus 2]

Now all my words here are lost on me

My metaphors and mythologies

All that I hold dear to me

No I can’t make it this way

(no I can't make it this way)

(I should not make plans)

What do you want me to say?

(think of me, think of me, think of me)

(I should not make plans)

’Cause every time I remember

It changes your shape

And starts to replace

The things I knew of you

You know I wish it wasn't (I-I-I) wish it wasn't true

(Oh can't you come put me in my place again)

I’m not so careful my love

(Oh can't you, oh can't you, oh can't you, oh can't you)

Oh can't you come put me in my place again
