Lyrics

Between the Bars

The air was cold, I could see your breath
Cup of coffee and a cigarette
You were standing tall
You were laughing loud
You said nothing could ever bring you down
Unless you let it
So tell me why'd you let it

Drivin late, interstate
Past the memories in the wake we made
And was I dumb or just too proud
To say the things that I felt out loud
But, oh God, I meant to
And what I wouldn't give to tell you

Between the bars I hear you sing along
And so, I come to visit you in song
And I still cry at night
And I ask God why
But no one's answer ever felt so wrong
To that burning question
And I just can't stand to listen

The air was cold, I could see your breath
Cup of coffee and a cigarette
You were standing tall
You were laughing loud
You said nothing could ever bring you down
Unless you let it
So tell me how could you let it?
Something Stronger

I'd have followed you down if you let me
Ain't no mountain, no river, no sea
I'd have crossed them all
Just to keep you safe somehow but I know
I can't go back now

So maybe I could use a drink or something stronger
Take the edge off the night
Keep it from getting any longer
No one here now but me
And my worn out armor
So if you're up there
Could you send some angels down?
Cuz honey, I'm the one needs saving now

I'd have followed you down if you let me
To the God Damn lowest of valleys
I'd have crossed them all
Just to keep you safe somehow but I know
What's done is done now

So maybe I could use a drink or something stronger
Take the edge off the night
Keep it from getting any longer
No one here now but me
And my worn out armor
So if you're up there
Could you send some angels down?
Cuz honey, I'm the one needs saving...

How the hell can a person make peace with this?
I'd have traded places if it had come to it
I'd have followed you down
I'd have saved you somehow

So maybe I could use a drink or something stronger
Take the edge off the night
Keep it from getting any longer
No one here now but me
And my worn out armor, Yeah

Maybe I could use a drink or something stronger
Take the edge off the night
It just keeps getting longer
No one here now but me
And my worn out armor
So if you're up there
Could you send some angels down?
Cuz honey, I'm the one needs saving now
Honey, I'm the one needs saving now
