How about a sad song to help me get further down
So down like I’m drowning, so down like I’m dying
How about a song to pull the rug from under me
When I was okay, when I was sane, when I found my way, yeah

How about a warning when the body’s already dowsed?
And it’s ready for burning, to late to learn
How about a reunion when everybody’s gone away?
They don’t want to see you, they don’t want to find out what you’re doing

Okay, will you be the first one when things get me down?
Will you be the first one to bring me around?
Resurrect my sense of believing
'Cause I sure could use the feeling

Got to get a handle, got to climb up another rung
I’m tired of being down, I don’t want to drown
I’m gonna walk, gonna walk, like a walking time bomb
I don’t want to go off, but I will if I’m forced to run

Will you be the first one when things get me down?
Will you be the first one to bring me around?
Resurrect my sense of believing
'Cause I sure could use the feeling

Something in the way I feel, makes me want to run
There’s something in the way you lead me.
That stop’s my head from making my body go
How about a sad song to make me get further down

Got to get ahead, got to climb another rung
Will you be the first one when things get me down?
Will you be the first one to bring me around?
Resurrect my sense of healing, 'cause I sure could use it

Will you be the first one when things get me down?
Will you be the first one to bring me around?
Resurrect my sense of believing
'Cause I
