Lyrics
VERSE:
I?ve lived in a city
Where the sidewalks know how to reach
Should you show up with a part of you
You want to keep
Find something else to feed
The hunger of that beast
I?ve lived with my window
Opened wide up and facing the street
And as the soft parts of innocence
Fly out of me
I wonder about you
And if your soft parts fly too
CHORUS:
But SAVE SOME for me
And I?ll save all I can
And we won?t be spent
Before we find each other?s hands
Though it?s hard to guard this cup
Baby, hunker down
Or bottle up
And let us SAVE SOME for love
VERSE:
I wonder where you?re walking
And about the kind of candy you eat
As you?re walking with your sweet
I wonder what you see
How it changes what you?ll be
What it shakes out of your tree
It?s ok to lose a little
Of our padding ? even babies agree
It?s ok to lose a little
Of our rookie?s glee
But it?s not ok to bleed
The softer stuff we?ll need
CHORUS:
So SAVE SOME for me
And I?ll save all I can
And we won?t be spent
Before we find each other?s hands
Though it?s hard to guard this cup
Baby, hunker down
Or bottle up
And let us SAVE SOME for love
BRIDGE:
I?ll be easy to find
Pick me out of the crowd
By the grip I have on life
Saving it now
Saving somehow
CHORUS:
Oh SAVE SOME for me
And I?ll save all I can
And we won?t be spent
Before we find each other?s hands
Though it?s hard to guard this cup
Baby, hunker down
Or bottle up
And let us SAVE SOME for love
