Saving Myself

[Verse 1]

He kicked you out by the side of the road

All alone in the dead of the night

You were scared and chilled to the bone

When I saw you in my headlights

Rain pouring down, you soaked to the skin

Pleading with me to take you in

Couldn't drive on and leave you alone

In there in the dead of the night

Alone in the dead of the night

[Verse 2]

I took you home and dried your clothes

Found out about the shape you were in

Heard your story and all your worry

You could never go back again

I held you close all through the night

And everything changed with the morning light

(I) didn't think we would both be alone

If I'd taken that other road home

If I'd taken that other road home

[Chorus]

But I listen to that silent voice

Stopping me cold like I had no choice

Doing what I could for someone else

Didn't know I was saving myself

Didn't know I was saving myself

[Verse 3]

What was the reason, what was the chance

I'd find my redemption in you

So much more than circumstance

I knew what I had to do

[Chorus]

When I listen...

Didn't know I was saving myself
