While I'm Down Songtext
von John Craigie

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

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've got no one on my mind
Come on love me up while I'm down


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

And apathy well it ain't my usual thing
But you know sometimes it comes around
And my window is open wide, I′ve got no one on my mind
Come on 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′ve 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 just exactly what's considered a sin


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