[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here on the phone
Just listening to the dial tone
And if I dial I hope I find
Nobody home
[Verse 2]
I've been in pain unceasing
And I tried to deep breathe
The shape and texture
Makes a bottomless seethe
[Verse 3]
I can't take the murk
So whatever works
I'll take what you've got
To tame the beast I serve
Yes, I serve
[Verse 4]
I been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a tender loving hold
And it's got me on this road
[Verse 5]
I've been straight ahead out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
In a love, loving tender hold
[Verse 6]
I been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
A love, love, loving tender hold
[Verse 7]
Yes, I been
I'd rather feel nothing that this
Wanted to stop feeling
And we've all had that wish
[Verse 8]
At the edges, at the margins
This feeling starts creeping in
Gets worse and worse, more and more
But my dull eyes have brightened
Oh, they're brighter
[Verse 9]
I been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
Loving tender hold
[Verse 10]
I've been straight ahead out the bed
Oh, straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
Tender hold
[Verse 11]
With a little help from some
With a little help from some
With a little help from some
Embraced in a loving tender
Embraced in a loving, loving tender hold, hold, hold
[Verse 12]
I'd rather feel nothing
I fear in pain of seizing
Oh, try to be free
Oh, makes a bottomless seethe
Straight up and down (Straight up and down)
Straight up and down and I'm off the ground
Up and down, up and down, up and down
Down, made, not seizing
Try to be free
With a little loving tender hold
Loving tender hold, whoa
