Rescue Me

Try if you can
Try hard to remember
Back when we didn’t have
A care in the world
We’d never sleep
We’d run the day into the night
We thought we were all invincible

But those days have come and gone
Still the memories linger on in my mind
But no matter how I try
I can’t keep this dream alive
On borrowed time

So I run when I can
But fast as I am
I can’t out–run my shadow
Think he’s gainin’ on me
So 1 if by land
And 2 if by sea
Won’t somebody
Come and rescue me (rescue me)

I’ll resign my judgment
It gets cloudy at times
But my focus never thought of changin’ lanes
I’ve made adjustments
I’ve made a lot of mistakes
But my confident conviction remains
My beliefs are still the same
And pain is just the proof
That your alive

So I run when I can
But fast as I am
I can’t out-run my shadow
Think he’s gainin’ on me
So 1 if by land

And 2 if by sea
Won’t somebody

Somebody come and rescue me

—Solo—

But no matter how I try
It’s hard to keep this dream alive
On borrowed time
So I run when I can
But fast as I am
I can’t out-run my shadow
Think he’s gainin’ on me
So 1 if by land
And 2 if by sea
Won’t somebody (double chorus)

Somebody rescue me (scats)

Fast as I am
Think he’s gainin’ on me
1 If by land
2 If by sea
Won’t some body
Somebody come and rescue me
