Down the Line

I've been battered, I've been bruised

And though I know it's no excuse

For you, I know I'm right

And in another place, in another time

I'd buy you flowers, I'd build a home

Right now I can't pay the bills, I cannot go

Can't give you anything you need

But maybe if you meet me further down the line

'Cause you're the right person at the wrong time

I wanna run into the light

Leave the dark behind

I wanna break the chains of life

With you right by my side

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

I'm easily dazed, I'm so confused

It's hurting me and I'm hurting you

Despite everything you do

You're gonna have to meet me further down the line

'Cause you're the right person at the wrong time

I wanna run into the light

And leave the dark behind

I wanna break the chains of life

With you right by my side

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

You've been trying hard to make me feel a little better

It's gonna take awhile to make me feel a little better

And I'll try, try, try, try a little harder

Ooh yeah, and I swear, swear, swear I'll get a little further

Oh, I wanna run into the light

Leave the dark behind

I wanna break the chains of life

With you right by my side

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

So, oh, you gotta meet me down the line

I'm easily dazed, I'm so confused

It's hurting me and I'm hurting you
