Am D / Bm E / G C / E A
One night I was drowning I was sinking again in just another dark bar
She stepped into the light and it was like I’d just found proof of life on Mars
Everything else was just a wasteland of egos I no longer had the patience to hear
She looked me in the eye and said ‘what is it exactly that brings you and me right here?’
C G D / D A E / Bb F C / G D A
I was saved by her eyes and her impeccable timing
I was saved from a loneliness so refined
It had almost sealed me in its suffocating skin
But love can soothe the strangeness that curdles in your mind
I had thought that being alone was the noble price that I had to pay
For the life that I’d fought to imagine that I could live out on the page
But I couldn’t disentangle desperation and what I called desire
I was hostage to the fear of being no one with which I’d conspired
I was saved by the way she saw right through me
I was saved by the way that she broke my life apart
And then she took each shard and re-built me from the start
Her hands were skilled and careful as she reconstruct my heart
Lead break
Well it takes someone else to grab your throat/heart and stop you looking down inside
To make you face the world that glows beyond walls you’ve stacked so high
Like you’re stuck away inside in your own Stockholm Syndrome looking through your captor’s eyes
Until one day someone breaks the door down and you’re shocked by a startling honest light
And you’re saved by the gaze that sees right into you
And you’re saved by the air and how it curves and sways
You’re saved by the hands that reach inside to touch your heart
You’re saved by the words that you keep sharing day by day by day by day
And I was saved by the gaze that saw right into me
And I was saved by the air and how it curved and swayed
I was saved by the hands that reached inside to touch my heart
I was saved by the words that we keep sharing day by day by day by day
