Down and out

In Budapest and Los Angeles

I drank a river to forget

To forget about the coming storm

The curtains are down

The lights are off

And the doors are closed

I think about this life I've known

And I hope this time

I won't let it go


Will you catch me when I run

Will you stop me when I'm done

When the day is through

All I want to do is slow down

When I call on you

Will you help me to slow down


I walk alone through this place

I can't find my way

This house is just an empty space

I never felt it was my home

Where've you been

I stole, I lied

I've hurt, I've sinned

My path has led

Me here again

There's splinters in my

Knees and bones


Will you catch me when I run

Will you stop me when I'm done

When the day is through

All I want to do is slow down

When I call on you

Will you help me to slow down


Every time I start to break

You pull me back

And help me stay

You struggle with me

There's splinters in my

Knees and bones

I try to find my

Way back home

You struggle with me

I try to find my way


Will you catch me when I run

Will you stop me when I'm done

When the day is through

All I want to do is slow down

When I call on you

Will you help me to slow down
