Rescue Me
Y and and T Lyrics

I was down, I was barely makin' it
I was feeling really low, struggling to just get by

She was gone and I couldn't take it
My partner had left me, and I was really struggling to cope without her

I was looking for a new way of thinkin'
I knew I needed to change my mindset in order to turn things around

When I go to sleep, I pray I wouldn't wake up
I was often feeling so low that I just wanted the pain to end

Well, I want you, I want you to rescue me
I know that I need someone to help me through this difficult time

The wheel kept turning, but I stood still
Life was continuing on around me, but I felt completely stuck

As the shadow looking for the man
I felt like I was lost and trying to find my way back to myself

Did I play to win or did I win to loose
I wasn't sure if my choices had led me to where I was, or if I was just unlucky

Of all the cards I had to draw the fool
I felt like I had made a lot of mistakes and bad decisions that had landed me in a tough spot

All people tellin' me about things I do
Everyone had opinions on how I should live my life, but I wasn't sure what was right for me

The more I hear, the less I see the truth
As I listened to others, I found it hard to figure out what was really the right thing to do

Oh, well, I'm on the edge, I can't look down
I knew I was in a precarious place and couldn't risk falling any further

Oh, slippin', slippin', slippin' oh, help
I felt like I was losing my grip and needed someone to come to my aid

A voice faintly callin' from another time
I felt like there was a part of me from the past trying to communicate with me

Oh so strange, it sounds like mine
The voice I was hearing felt very familiar, but also mysterious and unfamiliar at the same time

Shades of black and a twisted road
My path ahead seemed dark and uncertain

And I can't see the sky from here
I couldn't even see the possibility of better times ahead

Oh, do I turn around? I go straight ahead
I was trying to figure out which direction to take, which choice was the right one

I can't stop now, I find the light somewhere
I knew I had to keep pushing forward, searching for a way out of this darkness

I want you, I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me
I was desperate for someone to help me, to pull me out of this tough spot

Oh, you know I want you
I was hoping that someone specific would hear my call for help

I want you to rescue me, oh, rescue me
I knew this person was the one who could help me make it through this difficult time

Oh, you know I want you
I didn't want to have to go through this alone, I needed someone's support

Oh, rescue me
I was hoping that this person would come to my rescue and help me find a way out of this darkness
