Look at us calling for an ambulance again
It’s four in the morning and the tears are falling my friend
Lying broken in the road is no way for a night to end
Look at us calling for an ambulance again.
Well we take ten steps then we fall back twenty nine
To a darkened room far away from this heart of mine
Where a stranger’s voice says he’s doing all he can
Look at us calling for an ambulance again.
So I’m nailing up the windows trying to keep the world at bay
You say the harder that the wind blows the sooner it will change
Love is a delicate thread with which we weave
A way to the heart and soul for you I’ll breathe
With all of my might to help you in your fight within
Look at us calling for an ambulance again
So I’m nailing up the windows trying to keep the world at bay
You say the harder that the wind blows the sooner it will change.
With one foot behind the other I brace myself to take a fall
Let the light in you recover and find a path…among us all.
