While I'm Down Songtext
von John Craigie feat. TK & The Holy Know-Nothings

The big melt begins today all them icicles are dripping away
One by one one by one I watch them die
The earth shows no mercy everything needs to drink
I ain′t never been this thirsty in my life

And I can't remember who I wrote "wish you were here" to
But in the end it′s true all around
And my window is open wide I got no one on my mind
Come on and love me up while I'm down


I aint the best one it's true I′m just trying to say something new
Try not to sound like every other man
I ain′t done your drugs in a while but I'm down to match your smile
I′ll just ride it out honey you know how I am

Oh and apathy well it ain't my usual thing
But you know sometimes she comes around
And my window is open wide I got no one on my mind
Come on and love me up while I′m down

I've been going through the motions it′s like a vast dead ocean
Billions of drops but I got no urge to swim
I've been braving all the winters I've been trying to save the sinners
But i keep on forgetting exactly what′s considered a sin


Out here it′s a Costco of men why you chose me I'll never understand
Whatever it takes to kick the darkness out
And my window is open wide I got no one on my mind
Come on and love me up while I′m down
