Recovery-Frank Turner

[00:00.80]Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London. [00:04.05]Somebody I don't really know just gave me something [00:06.97]To help settle me down and to stop me from always [00:09.80]Thinking about you. [00:10.86] [00:13.43]And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction [00:16.05]When you're up for days with strangers [00:17.92]and you can't remember [00:19.17]Anything except the way you sounded [00:20.48]when you told me you didn't know what I [00:22.53]Should do. [00:22.92] [00:26.72]It's a long road out to recovery from here, [00:32.40] [00:33.59]a long way back to the light. [00:35.38] [00:39.68]A long road out to recovery from here, [00:44.23] [00:45.98]a long way to making it right. [00:47.47] [00:50.22]And so I wake up in the morning [00:51.72]Just like every other day and [00:53.03]Just like every boring blues song [00:54.59]I get swallowed by the pain, [00:56.09]So I fumble for your figure [00:57.46]In the darkness just to make it go away. [01:00.02] [01:02.20]But you're not lying there any longer [01:03.63]and I know that it's my fault [01:05.26]So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been [01:07.44]Crawling on the walls and [01:08.59]I've been dipping my darkness [01:09.84]For serotonin boosters, cider [01:11.78]and some kind of smelling salts. [01:14.28] [01:16.65]It's long road out to recovery from here, [01:20.98] [01:22.41]a long way back to the light. [01:24.40] [01:28.90]A long road out to recovery from here, [01:33.77] [01:35.08]a long way to making it right. [01:36.63] [01:39.33]So on the first night we met [01:40.70]you said well darling let's make a deal, [01:43.15] [01:45.52]If anybody ever asks us [01:46.88]well let's just tell them that we met in jail. [01:49.38] [01:51.57]And that's the story that [01:52.51]I'm sticking to like a stony-face accomplice [01:54.19]But tonight I need to hear some truth [01:56.43]if I'm ever getting through this. [01:57.50]Yeah, you once sent me a letter [01:58.93]that said if you're lost at sea, [02:00.30]Close your eyes and catch a tide my dear, and only think of me. [02:03.71]Well darling now I'm sinking and I'm as lost as lost can be [02:06.89]And I'm hoping you can drag [02:08.33]me out from down here towards to my recovery. [02:10.94] [02:22.93]If you could just give me a sign, [02:24.55]just a subtle little glimmer, [02:25.37]Some suggestion that you'd have me [02:26.80]if I could only make me better [02:28.29]Then I'd stand a little stronger, [02:29.85]as I walk a little taller all the time. [02:32.67] [02:34.72]Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you [02:37.69]Yeah, 'cause broken people can get better if they really want to [02:40.68]Or at least that's what I have to tell myself [02:43.05]If I'm hoping to survive. [02:45.17] [02:50.48]It's a long road out to recovery from here, [02:55.10] [02:56.65]a long way back to the light. [02:58.46] [03:02.78]A long road out to recovery from here, [03:07.28] [03:08.90]a long way to making it right. [03:10.53] [03:13.83]So darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, [03:16.53]Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, [03:19.47]Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover, [03:22.47]Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over.
