Savior - American Aquarium

There’s a street light right outside my window

And some nights it’s the only light I find

And the clock on that wall, it has been stuck at four for days

And it seem like I was meant to be behind

I have seen both sides of a sunrise

And these bloodshot eyes, they’re steadily wearing thin

And as the liquor and the caffeine both pulse through my veins

I pray that tomorrow I won’t end up here again

Everyone needs a savior

Be it minor, be it major

Always on their best behavior

Won’t you save me, save me tonight?

Today it was the hottest day of the summer

And those short skirt curves, oh boy, how they do bend

And the minimum wage mem’ries of the summers spent back home

Hell they were fun but didn’t pay the rent

So I work a nine-to-five and call it a living

But this living of mine, hell, it’s killing it me it seems

So at night I stand up on this stage and I try to explain the difference

Between a tattered heart and a shattered dream

Everyone needs a savior

Be it minor, be it major

Always on their best behavior

Won’t you save me, save me tonight?

All my friends, they ask me how I’m doing

And they ask that question as if I’ve got a choice

See I’m a notebook full of memories, I’m a screaming contradiction

Who talks to hear the sound of his own voice

Everyone needs a savior

Be it minor, be it major

Always on their best behavior

Won’t you save me tonight?
