"Bob Lind (The Only Way Is Down)" lyrics

When you think you're treading water, but you're just learning how to drown
And a song comes on the radio telling you that "The Only Way is Down"
You're out of luck, you're out of time, get out of here
Your lover just traded you in for the very same model but a much more recent year

It will not stop, it will get worse from day to day 'til you admit that you're a fuck-up; like the rest of us
Oh, that's the time you fall apart
That's the time the teardrops start
And that's the time you fall in love again
Yeah, that's the time you fall in love again

The recreational pursuits that made you shine have worn you thin
And it's oh so fine getting out of your mind as long as you can find your way back in
You want someone to screw your brains out
I'd say they're running out of time and they'd only go and cut themselves on the daggers of your mind

Yeah, this is your future
This is the sentence you must serve 'til you admit that you're a fuck-up like the rest of us
Oh, that's the time you fall apart
That's the time the teardrops start
And that's the time you fall in love again

When you've had enough, when you've had too much
When you got knocked down and you never got up
Well, that's the time you fall in love again

Oh, when you walked into the room
I could not breathe, I could not speak
Please can I hide myself inside you?
As far inside as it's possible to be

Can you assist me? I could not make it on my own
Can I give you all the love I have?
It's not much but I'll try and raise a loan

I have no pride left, no, no there is nothing I'm trying to prove
Oh, no, I am a fuck-up; just the same as you
Oh, I guess this is where I fall apart
And I guess this is where the teardrops start
But I don't care 'cause I just fell in love again

And I'd had enough - well, far too much
I just fell down, could you please help me up?
'Cause if you help me maybe I could fall in love again
