Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right upon the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet, shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby, you save me

It's hard loving a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

When I'm a bullet, shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby, you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby, you, baby, you save me

When I'm a bullet, shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby, you save me
