Hem - The Pills Stopped Working lyrics

rate me

(Gary Maurer/Dan Messe)

Ain't holding out for a miracle now

Just holding out for the water

Across the bridge that will carry me down

To the center of the Spanish Quarter

And I know that I don't belong with you

I know the pills stopped working for me

So if you want to set me up

I'll fall on my knees and fix what I have broke

I spent my whole life looking for land

But settled on the breakers

And saw the home that I held in my hand

Was just some dirt inside a scrap of paper

And I know that I should be long gone

And I know the pills stopped working long ago

If you want to look me up

I'll fall on my knees and fix whatever's broke

There's no place in the world

That can make this right

There's no home I once had that I have in sight

There's no one that can come to my side tonight

To save me

Come save me

The whole world sinking down in the bay

The sun is treading water

Suppose that you could save me some way

But I told you baby not to bother

Cuz I know that I'm going down there

And I know the pills don't work for me no more

I don't want to spend my whole life down on my knees
