Not a Life to Save
Journey Through Despair: 'Not a Life to Save' by Josh Merritt
Lyrics
Why don't you take me to
Expressing a desire to be taken to a destination
Wherever your going to
Asking to be taken wherever the listener is heading
Just let me drive
Requesting permission to take control and drive
Why don't you take me to
Reiterating the desire to be taken to the listener's destination
Wherever your going to just let me drive
Repeating the request to let the speaker drive
Tomorrow's not promised
Highlighting the uncertainty of the future
Especially today
Emphasizing the unpredictability of the present moment
And I can't make your hurt go away
Acknowledging inability to alleviate the listener's pain
It's clear to me
Expressing a realization that the listener cannot be saved
Your not a life to save
Affirming the understanding that the listener is not worth saving
Why don't you stop and breathe
Suggesting a pause to reflect and take a breath
There's so much world to Misbelieve
Indicating a vast world of misconceptions and falsehoods
Just walk on by
Advising the listener to continue without interference
Why don't you stop and breathe
Reiterating the suggestion to pause and breathe
There's so much world to Misbelieve
Reiterating the vastness of a world filled with misconceptions
Just walk on by
Encouraging the listener to walk past challenges
Creek water's rising
Describing a situation with rising creek water
You're in your wedding dress
Noting the listener in a wedding dress
But there's no wedding planned for today
Contrasting the dress with the absence of a wedding plan
It's clear to me
Reaffirming the understanding that the listener is not worth saving
You're not a life to save
Confirming the perception that the listener is not a life to save
Creek water's rising
Repeating the description of rising creek water
You're in your wedding dress
Reiterating the image of the listener in a wedding dress
But there's no wedding planned for today
Repeating the absence of a wedding plan
It's clear to me
Reaffirming the understanding that the listener is not worth saving
You're not a life to save
Restating the perception that the listener is not a life to save
You're heart is burning
Describing the listener's burning heart
You're not a Life to save
Reaffirming the conclusion that the listener is not a life to save
