God only knows I try to keep my head above the water But sometimes, things get the best of me and I can't breathe So I look a little closer and I find There's nothing left of what I used to call my mind "Don't you blow it, you could be king and you know it" Just remember the words, you know this Down and out All that's left to lose you, I know I can't escape while I'm awake This bitter taste of something fake I will get the best of me I've got a song and a melody, a girl down by the English sea Though sometimes she goes away I made sure I found the time Just a little time away and I'll be fine There's no doubt in her precious mind "Don't you blow it, you could be king and you know it" Just remember the words, you know this Down and out All that's left to lose you, I know I can't escape while I'm awake This bitter taste of something fake I will get the best of me Let these words guide you home Let these words guide you home Let these words guide you home! Let these words guide you home! Down and out All that's left to lose you, I know I can't escape while I'm awake This bitter taste of something fake I will get the best of me Down and out I can't escape while I'm awake This bitter taste of something fake I will get the best of me
