You could shape me into something,
You could drag me up from nothing
Like a drowning boy pulled up by his heels
And I might just give in
Give my whole world a spin
And straighten up stronger than steel
See I could jump over buildings
I could save all the children's
If I trade in my feet for these shoes
But as time they get old and the years make me strong
And I still find my weakness in you
Oh my soul
I can't quite make it alone
Oh my soul
I can't quite make it alone
You've been patching up my engines
You've been oiling my decisions
I've been trying to steer straight for a while
Yeah but when I think I reached the end a road sign signals turn again
I screech my wheels and pull out in style
See I could jump over buildings
I could save all the children's
If I trade in my feet for these shoes
But as time they get old and the years make me strong
And I still find my weakness in you
Oh my soul
I can't quite make it alone
Oh my soul
I can't quite make it alone
And a little lady say it lays alone inside her room so shady
With all the lights turned down and the mind turned on
While I'm strumming on that guitar
And wishing on a distant star with all
My life cut short and my dreams spread long
And she said maybe I will go to Spain
I don't even need an airplane
I'll get there some how just you watch
Oh but it's me that can't stop watching
Her with a glass of wine and mind so sure
I'd let her in if I thought she'd let me off
Oh my soul (my soul, my soul)
I can't quite make it alone
Oh my soul (my soul
I can't quite make it alone
I can't quite make it alone
I can't quite make it alone
