Song Lyrics

I don't believe a word you're saying
And I know the game you're playing
So it's only just for now
That I will let you take me down

You always manage to be low
So I don't have a chance to go
And it's just temporary now
That I will let you take me down

Pick me up on your way down
Don't your feet ever touch the ground?
You know they never make a sound

And if I should turn out right
Say my prayers 'most every night
Now wouldn't that just be a sight? Yeah

I'm aware I should know better
But I don't when we're together
I'll forgive myself somehow
And I will let you take me down

I can't hold on to myself
And hold on to somebody else
So if I hold on to you now
Then I will let you take me down

Pick me up on your way down
Don't your feet ever touch the ground?
You know they never make a sound

And if I should turn out right
Say my prayers 'most every night
Now wouldn't that just be a sight? Yeah
Oh, yeah, oh

Pick me up on your way down
Don't your feet ever touch the ground?
You know they never make a sound

And if I should turn out right
Say my prayers 'most every night
Now wouldn't that just be a sight? Yeah
Oh, yeah, oh
