Talk Yourself Down

from Strange Captive by The Morning Sea

/

lyrics

Caught in the park
And what you need is to be sentimental
I, I will always count on being wrong

It's cold after dark
But what you need, it's oh so fundamental
And I will never count on it for long

But I'll say it again
What you need, what you need
Is to let yourself float all alone until you fall onto your knees, to your knees, to your knees...

You call up your friends
But what you need, it's not what they're selling to you
I, I can try to sell you what you want

We'll make amends
But what you need, it's not what I'm telling to you now
But I can try to tell you when I'm gone

But I'll say it again
What you need, what you need
Is to let yourself drift all alone until you drown into the sea, into the sea
But you went and you leapt right over the edge
Cause they pulled you down, cause they pushed you around
But the next time you crawl out onto that ledge
You can talk yourself down, you can talk yourself down, you can talk yourself down...

Oh, there's nothing to compare
With getting up, and brushing off your deep despair
But it's too much
For your brush to bear

So give up the game
Cause what you need is to be everybody else
Other than yourself, other than your own

And it's such a shame that what you need
Is to love anybody else, better than yourself
Better than your soul

But I'll say it again
What you need, what you need
Is to pick yourself up when you stumble to the ground
Get to your feet, get onto your feet
But you went and you leapt right over the edge
Cause they pulled you down, cause they pushed you around
But the next time you crawl out on to that ledge
You can talk yourself down, you can talk yourself down, you can talk yourself down...

Oh you can talk yourself down
Talk yourself down
