Save
The Rocket Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not feelin' touch
I'm not makin' that much
And I guess I am blessed
But sometimes it's just hard to see it as such

I'm stuck here alone in the traffic lines
While couples in love in the HOV fly by
I don't get it, I'm not askin' for much
But everybody wants to just have somethin'

So I'll be pickin' me up, breakin' me down
I was lost, was I found'
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong with me

Take a look, embrace myself
Everybody wants to make it count
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life

Sit in there and gas it in, time to strap apartment
The walls are blank, it's like they're talkin' to me
I put a picture on the wall, I took a chance, I took a fall
She took up fast and gracefully, yes, I was blind and now I see

And I was pickin' me up, breakin' me down
I was lost, was I found'
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong with me

Take a look, embrace myself
Everybody wants to make it count
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life

And I could tell, from the picture I could feel
I was sinkin', throw me out, bring me back to life
The colors that my eyes had never seen
Well, I can see it now

Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life

So save me, save
Save me, save me
