Get Me Home

Well I’ve been drinking a little too much
And sleeping it off in the church
Been taking for granted just what I have
Using failure as a crutch

Trying to juggle but dropping the ball
Setting myself up for a fall
Whistlin’ past the graveyard at night too long
Starting to heed the voices that call

       Please just get me home
       I won’t make it on my own
       I been broken and bloodied and
       Now I’m down on my knees
       Please get me home

Been livin’ a little too fast
Maybe trying to outrun my past
I know you’ll just say we’ve been here before
I’m praying that this time’s the last

       Please just get me home
       I won’t make it on my own
       I been broken and bloodied and
       Now I’m down on my knees
       Please get me home

             When I awake I hope I’ll see you there
             If not tomorrow, someday, somewhere
             I’d sacrifice anything, I don’t care
             All that I am is yours, I swear

Didn't think I'd get through this night.
Started feeling the cold winter's bite.
They say it's the darkest before the dawn.
Think I see the first glimmers of light.

       Please just get me home
       I won’t make it on my own
       I been broken and bloodied and
       Now I’m down on my knees
       Please get me home
