Recovery - Frank Turner.mp3

[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.
