She moved away
when she turned eighteen
In search of home
Didn't know what that means
She thought she'd find it
somewhere on the big screen
She just kept running
she just kept running
Hollywood wasn't all
that she thought
City of Angels
but her wings got cut
She got high enough
to think she met God
She told Him something
she told Him
Give me a reason
Give me a sign
'Cause I'm down and
out of my mind
Is there someone out there
to throw me down a lifeline
Sending a prayer out
into the night
Tell me
am I doing this right
I could use a little bit
of help from the outside
Paycheck living
week to week
He clocks out just
to get no sleep
A nightmare
of an American dream
They all want something
they all want something
It's just stress
so the doctor says
His young heart's
beating out of his chest
Student loans
and medical debt
The bills keep coming
and he says
Give me a reason
Give me a sign
'Cause I'm down and
out of my mind
Is there someone out there
to throw me down a lifeline
Sending a prayer out
into the night
Tell me
am I doing this right
I could use a little bit
of help from the outside
Hear me out
hear me out
From the outside
can you hear me
Hear me out
hear me out
From the outside
Can you hear me
Help me out
help me out
From the outside
Can you help me
Help me out
help me out
From the outside
Could you give me a reason
give me a sign
'Cause I'm down and
out of my mind
Is there someone out there
to throw me down a lifeline
Sending a prayer out
into the night
Tell me
am I doing this right
I could use a little bit
of help from the outside
I'd give anything
for my dad's advice
I'd like to think
that he's in the sky
I stay up late talking
to him sometimes
I hope he hears me
when I say
