Rescue
Ash Gale Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I lost my way on a lonely night
Faded like a ghost in time
Trying not to lose my mind
Yeah I found myself out of my own depth
Retracing all my steps and now I got nothing Left

‘Cos I've been here for days
I'm wasting away

I don't know which way is up
Now my soul is out of touch

All I want All I need
Is someone here to rescue Me
I can't see and I can't breathe
Is someone here to rescue Me

Light in my eyes
The sounds I recognize
My mind playing tricks on me
Feels like I'm lost at sea oh

‘Cos I've been here for days
I'm wasting away
I don't know which way is up
Now it seems I'm outta luck

All I want All I need
Is someone here to rescue Me
I can't see and I can't breathe
Is someone here to rescue Me

All I want All I need
Is someone here to rescue Me

I can't see and I can't breathe
Is someone here to rescue Me
