Mat Kearney - Down lyrics

It took his breath away holding the bank page
He got the letter they’re gonna
Take their house away
I’m bout to have a daughter he
Yells it in the air
Feeling the weight of a world
That just don’t care

He lit a cigarette felt in on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He pulls the window down shouts it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying
Lord help us now
He’s looking for a reason watching
The sun coming down

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now we all need forgiveness
Coming round now

It was Monday night under the street lights
She’s turning seventeen in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone
She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul
On the road alone in a house that’s half home
They give her pills just to
Kill when she feels alone
She’s looking for a reason watching
The sun coming down

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now we all need forgiveness
Coming round now

Take these broken streets
Take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we we’re walking free
Tell me it will change I see it in your face
The hope the fear the love the faith

I’m working late again slaving
To make the rent
I’m slanging coffee with dreams
Heavy as cement
They’re coming one by one the
Face of falling love
I write a song with a prayer
As I slide the cup

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now we all need forgiveness
Coming round now

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now we all need forgiveness
Coming round now
