Dr. Dog - Survive lyrics
[Dr. Dog - Survive lyrics]
I was huddled in a doorway
Fighting off a trance
With my bag pulled to my chest
She asked me if I was waiting for something
I said the answer one thousand
Times over was yes
Well, here I am or a shadow of me
Oh, but deep down inside my heart runs free
I was a used shoes salesman
And I was working the graveyard shift
I was listening for the bell on
The door hoping you'd walk in
I was living in the weeds somewheres
I was breathing through a straw in the swamp
And I was gasping for air
Wondering what it was for
But, I have a child now
And she's better than me
Oh, but deep down inside
I hope she makes the same mistakes as me
Well, sometimes love is all
It's supposed to be but it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh, but somehow we'll survive
For another day by picking up our own feet
I was wandering around in the streets
Somewheres outside of Eden
She came down to let me in
And then she left for the light
I was creeping through
Through the brush and the shadows
Man, I was scared for my life
But, I am saved now
Somebody died for my sins
And I'm so glad it wasn't me
Sometimes lust is not such a crazy thing
But it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh, but somehow we'll survive
For another day oh, just for another day
Not by walking away nah, I'll stay
Sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
But it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh and somehow we'll survive for another day
Oh, just for another day
Fighting off a trance
With my bag pulled to my chest
She asked me if I was waiting for something
I said the answer one thousand
Times over was yes
Well, here I am or a shadow of me
Oh, but deep down inside my heart runs free
I was a used shoes salesman
And I was working the graveyard shift
I was listening for the bell on
The door hoping you'd walk in
I was living in the weeds somewheres
I was breathing through a straw in the swamp
And I was gasping for air
Wondering what it was for
But, I have a child now
And she's better than me
Oh, but deep down inside
I hope she makes the same mistakes as me
Well, sometimes love is all
It's supposed to be but it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh, but somehow we'll survive
For another day by picking up our own feet
I was wandering around in the streets
Somewheres outside of Eden
She came down to let me in
And then she left for the light
I was creeping through
Through the brush and the shadows
Man, I was scared for my life
But, I am saved now
Somebody died for my sins
And I'm so glad it wasn't me
Sometimes lust is not such a crazy thing
But it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh, but somehow we'll survive
For another day oh, just for another day
Not by walking away nah, I'll stay
Sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
But it can break you
Remember, take care of your heart and cry
Oh and somehow we'll survive for another day
Oh, just for another day
