SURVIVE - INNOCENT

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

Oh my, naked eyes I should have kept you I should have tried I should have been a wiser kind of guy I miss you Give me wings Give me space Give me money for a change of face Those noisy rooms and passion pants I love you Where's the morning in my life? Where's the sense in staying right? Who said 'time is on my side'? I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive You alone across the floor You and me and nothing more You're the great mistake I never made I never lied to you, I hated when you lied But I'll survive your naked eyes I'll survive Beetle boys, all snowy white Razzle-dazzle clubs, every night Wish I'd sent a Valentine I love you I'll survive naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive my naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive naked eyes I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive

Hoo woo, hoo woo Anyday now, it's what I kept telling myself On the last mile, on the road to somewhere But along the way I (got stopped by) All the wind and the rain and To my surprise And it shook my heart Blew my mind I've had to cry so many nights I've had to hold on for my life But all I can say now is that I survived I survived, I survived, I survived I survived, I survived, I survived Oh, Lord I had a lot on me Truth be told, it almost broke me But I'm so glad I survived, I survived, I survived now Now hurt and pain were sometimes my company Separated from those, then I suppose I didn't have no guarantees But one thing, I knew for sure was I've had my share of ups and downs I made it even though Oh, it shook my heart Blew my mind I've had to cry so many nights I've had to hold on for my life But all I can say now is that I survived I survived, I survived, I survived I survived, I survived, I survived Oh, Lord I had a lot on me Truth be told, it almost broke me But I'm so glad I survived, I survived, I survived now I know you heard this message before I wanna tell you once more It's alright You'll survive I know the road your on might seem long But I encourage you to hold on, hold on You will survive I do believe you will But all I can say now is that I survived I survived, I survived, I survived I survived, I survived, I survived Oh, Lord I had a lot on me Truth be told, it almost broke me But I'm so glad I survived, I survived, I survived now When the weight of the world's All on your shoulder Just remember, remember, remember To keep your head up and survive Oh, Lord I had a lot on me Truth be told, it almost broke me But I'm so glad I survived, I survived, I survived now I survived, I survived, I survived I survived, I survived, I survived Oh, Lord I had a lot on me Truth be told, it almost broke me But I'm so glad I survived, I survived, I survived now
