[Bridge]

And you

You're gonna walk backwards through the room

Does that mean I won't see you?

It means you walk backwards

Through the room

[Verse 1]

Tiffany's crying

She's dying to make it out of this hell

I just laugh

Cause it was my job to be her help

But I'm in my bedroom

I found me a corner

Where friends won't debate my health

Like "how can he save some summer night

When he can't save himself"

[Chorus]

You've got to pick me up

C'mon and pick me up

When I am falling down

You've got to pick me up

[Verse 2]

Cut to December

How can a scalpel tear into skin

Revealing walks in the park

Lord how can a heart

Come from two separate organs

And you're gonna make this simple

Do you want to make me sweeter?

I know, I know, I know, I know

I'll let you down

I'll let you down

[Chorus]

Pick me up

C'mon and pick me up

When I am falling down

You've got to pick me up

Pick me up

(Prescriptions scripting a timeline)

C'mon and pick me up

(Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes)

When I am falling down

(First love, heartbreak, and true love)

You've got to pick me up

(Mistakes, heartbreak, and true love)

[Bridge]

And you

You're gonna walk backwards through the room

Does that mean I won't see you?

It means you walk backwards

Through the room

And you're gonna make this simple

Do you want to make me sweeter?

I know, I know, I know, I know

I'll let you down

I'll let you down

[Chorus]

You've got to pick me up

C'mon and pick me up

When I am falling down

You've got to pick me up

Pick me up

(Prescriptions scripting a timeline)

C'mon and pick me up

(Swing sets, grade schools, and black eyes)

When I am falling down

(First love, heartbreak, and true love)

You've got to pick me up

(Mistakes, heartbreak, and true love)
