Down

I wasn't waiving I was drowning
Into my drink and my surroundings
Buddied up with all my demons & failures at the bar
Bought every goddamn round

When I lose meaning, I lose purpose
Bury my heart way beneath the surface
Only good part about this curse is
The song and the sound

Those cars out on the highway
Sound like waves breaking my way
Washing me over, clean and sober since you've been around
Baby don't you put me down

I was in the big space between the light and the dark
A method actor just playing out my part
And when it came down to matters of my heart
I'd learn to deal & cope

Heard your voice, I saw your face
Ascend upon me with such an angel's grace
The only thing I can't forget now's the taste,
A notion of hope

Those cars out on the highway
Sound like waves breaking my way
Washing me over, clean and sober since you've been around
Baby don't you put me down
