Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm
Daylight doesn't seem to come up as fast
When it's you I'm haunting, you I'm calling
I need you back in my system
So many things I wish I'd known
When every night I lie, hoping you'd come through the door
My life feels wrong without you
Mmm
[PreChorus]
I can't be here, lost and abandoned
Nobody asking, I cannot stand by you
There's days that I go off stranded
Nobody follows, nobody sees what's true
There's days that I wanted to be through
And every day I toss and turn, my life feels wrong without you
[Chorus]
An' I took the keys to the lake
I said that God what I said
I know the folk on the road
I know they don't wanna move today
I wish I could die in the morn
Sometimes it's hard but you know I'm thankful, mmm
I know the folk on the road
I know they die for thе Lord
Sometimes ya man might go
I don't believe anymore
I wish I could die in the morn
Sometimes it's hard but you know I'm thankful, mmm
[Verse 2]
I was tryna be something wretched
Something I saw on TV
But you were the only one who would come through callin'
You found ways to rescue me
[Bridge]
You rescued me
[PreChorus]
If I can't be here, lost and abandoned
Nobody asking, I cannot stand by you
There's days that I go off stranded
Nobody follows, nobody sees what's true
There's days that I wanted be through
And every day I toss and turn, my life feels wrong without you
Woo
[Chorus]
Hey, an' I took the keys to the lake
I said that God what I said
I know the folk on the road
I know they don't wanna move today
I wish I could die in the morn
Sometimes it's hard but you know I'm thankful, mmm, oh
I know the folk on the road
I know they die for thе Lord
Sometimes ya man might go
I don't believe anymore
I wish I could die in the morn
Sometimes it's hard but you know I'm thankful
