Darkest Places

I been holding on by a thread, and the wind won't stop blowing this flag around

I been looking out for letters and waiting for a stranger to come knock me out

I been wandering 'round like a man

Fought in a war he knows never would be won

Like an empty Budweiser bottle in the window glowin in the sun

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places, we still look for love

I've been reading the news, and boy, it looks so bad

So many people out there really struggling

All these profiteers with all our tears as souvenirs, all the time, they're juggling

Well, I've played the clown before, and baby, I would do it for you all again

But when the sands are always shifting, it's so hard to know exactly where to stand

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places, we still look for love

Baby, I'm so hungry now, but I can't reach out 'cause I am freezing to the bone

I don't wanna live without you 'cause I've only learned how to live alone

Oh

Now I stand before the door with a handful of keys, and I can't find the lock

I've been riding out on rough seas, baby, and you know I'm always seeking out a place to dock

I know a man like me was never really supposed to find a proper place to rest

And that the stars, they shine so bright because the sky is always full of all its emptiness

When I'm sinking down, that's when I cry out above

Yes, even in the darkest places, we still look for love

Yes, even in the darkest places, we still look for love

Yes, even in the darkest places, we still look for love
