Recovery

Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London

Somebody I don't really know just gave me something

To help settle me down and to stop me from always

Thinking about you

Recovery - Frank Turner

And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction

When you're up for days with strangers

And you can't remember

Anything except the way you sounded

When you told me you didn't know what I

Should do

It's a long road out to recovery from here

A long way back to the light

A long road out to recovery from here

A long way to making it right

And so I wake up in the morning

Just like every other day and

Just like every boring blues song

I get swallowed by the pain

So I fumble for your figure

In the darkness just to make it go away

But you're not lying there any longer

And I know that it's my fault

So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been

Crawling on the walls and

I've been dipping my darkness

For serotonin boosters cider

And some kind of smelling salts

It's long road out to recovery from here

A long way back to the light

A long road out to recovery from here

A long way to making it right

So on the first night we met

You said well darling let's make a deal

If anybody ever asks us

Well let's just tell them that we met in jail

And that's the story that

I'm sticking to like a stony-face accomplice

But tonight I need to hear some truth

If I'm ever getting through this

Yeah you once sent me a letter

That said if you're lost at sea

Close your eyes and catch a tide my dear and only think of me

Well darling now I'm sinking and I'm as lost as lost can be

And I'm hoping you can drag

Me out from down here towards to my recovery

If you could just give me a sign

Just a subtle little glimmer

Some suggestion that you'd have me

If I could only make me better

Then I'd stand a little stronger

As I walk a little taller all the time

Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you

Yeah 'cause broken people can get better if they really want to

Or at least that's what I have to tell myself

If I'm hoping to survive

It's a long road out to recovery from here

A long way back to the light

A long road out to recovery from here

A long way to making it right

So darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover

Darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover

Darling sweet lover won't you help me to recover

Darling sweet lover one day this will all be over
