Lyrics

The sun is down

The day is ending.

I'm coming 'round

I am approaching or getting closer.

But I don't belong

I feel out of place or don't fit in.

In this part of town

This particular area doesn't feel like my home.

So lead me high

Elevate my spirits.

Don't leave me low

Don't bring me down.

And when I'm away

Even when I'm not physically present.

Lead me home

Guide me back to where I belong.


Any day now

In the near future.

You can save me

Rescue or help me.

As I go up in flames

Metaphorically, facing a destructive situation.

Any day now

At some point, things may drastically change.

Skies may open

The possibilities may unfold, but they could wash away.

But they'll wash me away

Refers to potential loss or failure.


Give me one last try

Give me another chance.

Before you hang me out to dry

Before abandoning or exposing me to difficulties.

'Cause how can you be sure

The uncertainty of not being forgotten.

That you won't need something that you can remember me by?

Leaving a lasting impression.


So many days

Many days spent away from home.

Away from home

A sense of detachment, like a traveling performer.

Like some kind of freak

Feeling like an outsider.

In a traveling show

Life feels like a constant journey.

Don't hold your breath

Don't hold onto hope for my return.

Or wait for me

Don't expect me to come back.

I'm already gone

I've already moved on or left.

There's nobody here

Nobody is left behind.


Any day now

In the future.

You can save me

Offer me help before facing a downfall.

As I go down in flames

Metaphorically, experiencing a failure or collapse.

Every way now

In every possible scenario.

You deceive me

You mislead or betray me when promising to stay.

When you promise to stay

A warning about unfulfilled promises.


Give me one last try

Provide one more opportunity.

Before you hang me out to dry

Before exposing me to challenges or abandonment.

'Cause how can you be sure

The uncertainty of being remembered.

That you won't need something that you can remember me by?

Leaving something significant for remembrance.


Something you need

There is something necessary.

Any day now

In the foreseeable future.

Any way at all

Any method or manner.

Any day now

In the foreseeable future.

Any way at all

Any method or manner.


Give me one last try

Provide one final opportunity.

Before you hang me out to dry

Before leaving me vulnerable to challenges.

'Cause how can you be sure

The uncertainty of being remembered.

That you won't need something that you can remember me by?

Leaving a significant memory behind.
