Lyrics

Save a Life

[Verse 1]

Walking through all the desperate faces

It's cold enough to see your breath

Wrapped up and huddled together

Trying not to catch death

Steam comes up from the subway

Ice falls down from the sky

He takes pause at his own reflection

In the window of the Five and Dime

[Pre-Chorus]

Just long enough to see right through his empty eyes

Just long enough to see right through his own lies

[Chorus]

He said

I wanna save a life tonight

I'm not ready to die

I think I saw the light tonight

I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'

Boy, you're not getting any younger

And you're living on borrowed time

And you could save a life tonight

Yeah you could save a life tonight

[Verse 2]

He caught a glimmer of a glimpse of heaven

On Friday or the night before

He saw the face of old Saint Peter

Beckoning him through the door

He said I'm not quite ready to die

I haven't learned to love just yet

I wanna give it another try

Is there somebody else instead

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not strong enough

But you could give me the strength I need

For just long enough for me to make the most of me

[Chorus]

I wanna save a life tonight

I'm not ready to die

I think I saw the light tonight

I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'

Boy, you're not getting any younger

And you're living on borrowed time

And you could save a life tonight

Yeah, you could save a life tonight

Yeah, you could save a life tonight

Yeah, you could save a life tonight

Yeah, you could save a life tonight

[Bridge]

I was the Lazarus you were the Christ

Breath into me, gave me new life

The demons fled, angels of light

Carried me through the night

I was the Lazarus you were the Christ

Breath into me, gave me new life

I was the Lazarus you were the Christ

Breath into me, gave me new life

You bring me back to life

[Chorus]

I wanna save a life tonight

I'm not ready to die

I think I saw the light tonight

I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'

Boy, you're not getting any younger

And you're living on borrowed time

And you could save a life tonight

Yeah you could save a life tonight
