I was huddled in a doorway Fighting off a trance With my bag pulled to my chest She asked me if I was waiting for something I said the answer one thousand times over was yes Well, here I am Or a shadow of me Oh, but deep down inside My heart runs free I was a used shoes salesman And I was working the graveyard shift I was listening for the bell on the door hoping you'd walk in I was living in the weeds somewheres I was breathing through a straw in the swamp And I was gasping for air, wondering what it was for But I have a child now And she's better than me Oh, but deep down inside I hope she makes the same mistakes as me Well, sometimes love is all it's supposed to be But it can break you Remember,take care of your heart And cry Oh, but somehow we'll survive For another day By picking up our own feet I was wandering around in the streets Somewheres outside of Eden She came down to let me in And then she left for the light I was creeping through Through the brush and the shadows Man, I was scared for my life But I am saved now Somebody died for my sins And I'm so glad it wasn't me Sometimes lust is not such a crazy thing But it can break you Remember, take care of your heart And cry Oh, but somehow we'll survive For another day Oh, just for another day Not by walking away Nah, I'll stay Sometimes love is all it's supposed to be But it can break you Remember, take care of your heart And cry Oh and somehow we'll survive For another day Oh, just for another day
