Save me from myself
Philip Sayce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How does it feel all alone and afraid
With nothing but blood on your sky
Millions of miles from the dawn in your head
Caught in a river of fire

Time is running our forever
Deliver me today
Save me from myself
Light up my way
Save me from myself
I need you today

Behind the night where i hide all my fear
Oceans are calling the storm
Scorpio sun drags me down in her weeds
Another child waits to be born

I need you right now, don't let me down
Shine your light on me

Save me from myself
Light up my way




Save me from myself
I need you today
