Shot down in the burning rain
I was hanging out and I lost my way
For a while I wanted to be sure
Blood stains on the marble floors
And staring at it only made it more
Out my mind and stepping into yours
Oh what a world we're in today
I take back what I didn't say
They love me for all I used to be
But when I call you up and everything's alright again
What a friend I am
Well, at least I used to be
Lift me up, shake me down
Take it off cause I don't wanna have it around
I don't wanna have it around
I just wanna live without
Bring me up, don't kick me down
Get beside cause I just wanna have you around
I just wanna have you around
I don't wanna live without
Lovesick, watered away
If we hit a home run, well
We can call it a day
We're all afraid and just looking for somebody to play
We lucked out, the pouring rain
Was a hell of a beloved lady born in pain
She put me out and she steered me in my lane
Oh what a world we're in so free
I've been looking for whatever it is that I need
If you got what I love
I'll be ending up down on my knees
But when I chalk my message all over the streets
Better hand me the steering wheel
And hand me the keys
It's a very rough road
But that's the way it'll always be
So won't you...
Lift me up, shake me down
Take it off cause I don't wanna have it around
I don't wanna have it around
I just wanna live without
Bring me up, don't kick me down
Get beside cause I just wanna have you around
I just wanna have you around
I don't wanna live without
