The Pills Stopped Working

Hem


Ain't holding out for a miracle now 
Just holding out for the water 
Across the bridge that will carry me down 
To the center of the Spanish Quarter 

And I know that I don't belong with you 
I know the pills stopped working for me 
So if you want to set me up 
I'll fall on my knees and fix what I have broke 

I spent my whole life looking for land 
But said a lone love breakers 
And saw the home that I held in my hand 
Was just some dirt inside a scrap of paper 

And I know that I should be long gone 
And I know the pills stopped working long ago 
If you want to look me up 
I'll fall on my knees and fix whatever's broke 

There's no place in the world 
That can make this right 
There's no home I once had that I have in sight 
There's no one that can come to my side tonight 
To save me 
Come save me 

The whole world sinking down in the bay 
The sun is treading water 
Suppose that you could save me some way 
But I told you baby not to bother 

Cuz I know that I'm going down there 
And I know the pills don't work for me no more 
I don't want to spend my whole life down on my knees 
Just fixing what I broke
