Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath
The undertow creeps in slow
Everyone owns a gun deep inside
It’s just a matter of how much you let it slide

Help me, help you
They won’t be there
Help me, help you
They won’t see

Chorus
It hurts when you need me
And I can’t break your fall
And it hurts when you can’t see
And it hurts

Drop the switch, scratch the itch, watch it glow
Inch by inch, the cutting board
Watch it swing to and fro
Everyone carries one deep inside
It’s just a matter of how much you let it slide

Wash it off, take the loss, let it go
Take it in, drink it up, we can just take it slow
Everyone carries one deep inside
It’s just a matter of how much you let it slide

And it hurts when you’re lonely
And I’m standing right beside you there
And it hurts when you told me
That you’ll try this on your own

Hope you never hurt, hope you never cry
Hope you never lose your way tonight
Hope you never crumble, hope you never fall
Hope you never throw away it

Drop the ball, watch it fall far below
Suck you in, hold your breath, watch it swing
