Survive

I was huddled in a doorway I was 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 I was working the graveyard shift I was listening for the bell on the door when you walk in I was living in the weeds somewhere I was breathing through a straw in the swamp I was gasping for air, wondering what it was for But I have a child now She's better than me Oh, but deep down inside I hope She makes the same mistakes as me 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 somewhere outside Eden She came down to let me in And then 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 love 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, but somehow we'll survive For another day Oh, just for another day Not by walking away No, I must stay --- Survive - Dr. Dog
