How to save a life - The Fray
Step one, you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You _____ politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and _______
You begin to wonder why you came
Chorus:
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You _____ politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and _______
You begin to wonder why you came
Chorus:
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the _______
And I would have stayed up with you all night
____ I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his __________
Without granting innocence
Lay down a _____ of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
Chorus
As he begins to ______ his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Chorus (x4)
