Survive

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
