renouncer - saved by a place lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a child collapsed to the floor of the station
he gasped and writhed around on the ground
his mother donned her cap
took his head into her lap
and she held him as he slowly calmed down

as he hyperventilated into a paper bag
i wished that i could help or show i cared
i scrambled for the words
but only came up empty
anyways, he had his mother right there

[bridge 1]
all my uselessness had got me thinking
that i’d somehow missed out
i don’t know what i felt guiltier about

[verse 2]
a few years and changе
brought me back to that same platform
with the suits and studеnts shaking off the day
out on the street
no bounds, no bonds for me
i walked down to where the buskers always play
[chorus]
and that was enough
to make me wanna pack my sh+t up
d+mn near fooled me into thinking
that this light and sound could dazzle down
what i wished to forget

and so i felt so good i struck up a conversation
with a girl who sang and played guitar alone
but with my broken speech
we could barely meet in the middle
so she went home and i kept moving on my own

[bridge 2]
yes, i wandered through the alleys
hopping puddles and dodging cars
lingering in the warmth that leaked out from the bars

till i turned the lock
on this antiseptic shoebox
mine for now but not for long
what a fool i’d been in thinking
that to me this night belonged

[verse 3]
and later i stood with the singer in that station
but when she spoke i saw she had that child’s face
she said “the only thing that’s dumber
than thinking everyone needs your saving
is thinking you’d be saved by a place”
