Down - Lyrics

[Printable version]

Verse 1:
It took his breath away, holding the bank page
He got the letter, they're going to take the house away
About to have a daughter, he yells it in the air
Feeling the weight of the world that just don't care
He lit a cigarette, felt it on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He rolls the window down, shouts it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying "Lord, help us now"
He's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

Chorus:
Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now
(Oh, oh, oh oh...)
Coming down now

Verse 2:
It was Monday night, under the street lights
She's turning seventeen in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds, walking in monotone
She kicks a bottle that's empty as her soul
Out on the road alone, in a house that's half a home
They give her pills to kill when she feels alone
She's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

Chorus:
Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Bridge:
Take these broken streets
Take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we were walking free
Tell me it will change I see it in your face
The hope the fear the love the faith

Verse 3:
I’m working late again slaving to make the rent
I’m slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement
They’re coming one by one the face of falling love
I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cup

Chorus:
Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?
Standing our backs against the wall
At the top of our lungs, how far we've come
Where pain and love bleed into one
All that we need is so bittersweet
The pain that opens our eyes to see
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming 'round now

Outro:
(Oh, oh, oh oh...)
It's coming down now
(Oh, oh, oh oh...)
Coming down now
(Oh, oh, oh oh...)
It's coming down now
