Pick Me Up

Day or night babe

Was it night or day

When I pleaded

Don’t turn away

Confined to

A room without a view

Couldn’t breathe in there

Went looking for you

Suddenly the streets

Turned strangely silent

Every stray alive

Captured by fog

A faded photograph

A single memory

Of what they had lost

Pick me up

Can we try again

Through concrete flowers

Abandoned vehicles

The same view for hours

Trying to pick up a trace

We leave scars

On each other’s hearts

Thought that I could change

False promises made

The wrong melody

Repeated history

Stays with me

Plays on and on

Pick me up

Don’t give up on us

No don’t give up on us
