blacking in and out in a strange flat in east london somebody i don t really know just gave me something to help set me down and stop me always thinking about you and you know your life is heading in a questionable direction when you re off in days with strangers and you can t remember anything except way you sound when you told me you didn t know what i should do it s a long road out to recovery from here a long way back to the light a long road out to recovery from here a long way to make it right and so i wake up in the morning just like every other day and just like every boring blues song i get swallowed by the pain and so i fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away but you re not lying there any longer and i know that it s my fault so i been pounding on the floor and i ve been crawling up the walls and i ve been divvying my darkness and serotonin boosters cider and some kind of smelling salts it s a long road out to recovery from here a long way back to the light a long road out to recovery from here a long way to make it right so on the first night we met you said well darling let s make a deal if anybody ever asks us well let s say that we met in jail and that s the story that i m sticking to like a southern face that comforts but today i need to hear some truth if i m ever getting through this yea you once sent me a letter that said if i was lost at sea close my eyes and catch a time idea and only think of me well darling now i m sinking i m as lost as lost can be and i m hoping you can drag me off and down and out to my recovery if you could just give me a sign and just a subtle little glimmer a suggestion that you d have me if i could only make me better then i d stand a little stronger as i walk a little taller all the time cause i know that you are cynical but i think i can convince you yea cause broken people can get better if they really want to or at least that s what i have to tell myself if i m hoping to survive it s a long road out to recovery from here a long way back to the light a long road out to recovery from here a long way back to whats right darling sweet lover won t you help me to recover darling sweet lover won t you help me to recover darling sweet lover won t you help me to recover darling sweet lover one day this will all be over
