Rescue Me
Lisa Panagos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 3 a.m I just can't sleep
trying to come down
from this stressful week
Feel shaken up
I want to escape
Just can't keep up
With this crazy rat race
My nerves are frazzled and I'm all alone
Just no place to call home.
Can you
Rescue Me, Comfort Me

Everything I hear, seems so uptight
I Can't get a job
And I'm sick of the fight
A stranger passes by
He lends me a hand
Streets bustling
You a family Man

Cause I need a little sympathyl
I've had a tough time lately
Can you
Rescue Me, Comfort Me
Rescue Me, Comfort Me

Will you be the one
Beside me tonight?
Will you be the one
That I need?
Cause' this shaky ground is swallowing
Everything I am
I might slip away
Drift away

I have no money
And I have no home
It's cold outside
And I'm all alone




Rescue Me, Comfort Me
Rescue Me, Comfort Me
