Pick Me Up
Noah McCool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never should've gave you hell
I know
Oh, I know
I thought I had something to find
But all I've done is lose my mind
I know
I've wasted my body just trying to fight
Running to nowhere just lost in the night
Crying for someone with every last breath
Just someone to show me, is anything left?
So would you pick me up?
Cause I'm giving up
No there's no tomorrow where I'll be alright
So if you would just stay beside me tonight
Would you pick me up?
Instead of dealing with my pride
I just run around unsatisfied
You know
Oh, you know
I'll never find my own way out
So I'll sit alone for another round
You know
Oh, you know
I've wasted my body just trying to fight
Running to nowhere just lost in the night
Crying for someone with every last breath
Just someone to show me, is anything left?
So would you pick me up?
Cause I'm giving up
No there's no tomorrow where I'll be alright
So if you would just stay beside me tonight
Would you pick me up?
(Would you pick me up)
I know that I've been gone to long
But they all said to just stay strong
('Cause I'm giving up)
I'm ready to give up the fight
So please just stay with me tonight
(Would you pick me up)
I know that I've been gone to long
But they all said to just stay strong
('Cause I'm giving up)
I'm ready to give up the fight
So please just stay with me tonight
(Would you pick me up)
I know that I've been gone to long
But they all said to just stay strong
('Cause I'm giving up)
I'm ready to give up the fight
So please just stay with me tonight
(Would you pick me up)
('Cause I'm giving up)
