Lyrics

[Intro]
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
Hold on
[Verse 1]
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know, no, you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
[Verse 2]
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Help me out, yeah
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
[Verse 3]
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The coldhearted boy I used to be
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
[Chorus]
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
[Bridge]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
[Bridge]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
[Bridge]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
[Chorus]
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
[Outro]
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
[Outro]
All these things that I've done
Time, truth, and hearts
If you can't hold on
If you can't hold on
