American Aquarium - Savior lyrics

There's a street light right
Outside my window
And some nights it's the only light I find
And the clock on that wall
It has been stuck at four for days
And it seem like I was meant to be behind
I have seen both sides of a sunrise
And these bloodshot eyes
They're steadily wearing thin
And as the liquor and the caffeine
Both pulse through my veins
I pray that tomorrow I won't
End up here again

Everyone needs a savior
Be it minor, be it major
Always on their best behavior
Won't you save me, save me tonight?

Today it was the hottest day of the summer
And those short skirt curves, oh boy
How they do bend
And the minimum wage mem'ries of
The summers spent back home
Hell they were fun but didn’t pay the rent
So I work a nine-to-five and call it a living
But this living of mine, hell
It's killing it me it seems
So at night I stand up on this stage
And I try to explain the difference
Between a tattered heart and
A shattered dream

Everyone needs a savior
Be it minor, be it major
Always on their best behavior
Won't you save me, save me tonight?

All my friends, they ask me how I'm doing
And they ask that question as
If I've got a choice
See I'm a notebook full of memories
I'm a screaming contradiction
Who talks to hear the sound of his own voice

Everyone needs a savior
Be it minor, be it major
Always on their best behavior
Won't you save me tonight?
