Darkest Places

[Verse 1]

I've been holding on by a thread and the wind won't stop blowing my flag round

I've been looking out for letters and waiting for a stranger to come knock me out

I've been wanderin' around like a man

Fought in a war he knows never would be won

Like an empty Budweiser bottle in the window glowin' in the sun

[Chorus]

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

[Verse 2]

I've been reading the news and, boy, it looks so bad

So many people out there rеally struggling

All these profiteers with all our tears as souvеnirs, all the time they're juggling

Well, I played the clown for you, baby, I would do it for you all again

But when the sands are always shiftin', it's so hard to know exactly where to stand

[Chorus]

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

[Bridge]

Baby, I'm so hungry now, but I can't reach out

'Cause I'm freezing to the bone

I don't wanna live without you

'Cause I've only learned how to live alone

Oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Now I stand before the door with a handful of keys and I can't find a lock

I've been riding out on rough seas, baby, and you know I'm always seeking out a place to dock

I know a man like me was never really supposed to find a proper place to rest

And that the stars they shine so bright because the sky is always full of all its emptiness

[Chorus]

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love

Yes, even in the darkest places we still look for love
