"Meds" lyrics - BRUCE HORNSBY

I'm sitting here on the phone
Just listening to the dial tone
And if I dial I hope I find nobody home
I've been in pain unceasing and I tried to deep breathe
The shape and texture makes a bottomless seethe
I can't take the murk, so whatever works
I'll take what you've got, to tame the beast I serve
Yes, I serve

[Chorus:]
I've been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a tender loving hold and it's got me on this road
I've been straight ahead, out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving, tender hold
In a love, loving, tender hold
I've been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving, tender hold
Love, love, loving, tender hold
Yes, I've been

I'd rather feel nothing than this
Wanted to stop feeling
Oh, we've all had that wish

At the edges, at the margins
This feeling starts creeping in
Gets worse and worse, more and more
But my dull eyes have brightened
Oh, they're brighter

[Chorus:]
I've been loving, been loving you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving, tender hold
Loving, tender hold
I've been straight ahead, out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving, tender hold, tender hold

[Bridge:]
With a little help from some
With a little help from some
With a little help from some
Embraced with a moment
Embraced in a loving, loving, tender hold, hold

[Outro:]
I feel in pain, not ceasing
Oh, I just feel free
Whoa, make tomorrow see
Straight up and down
Straight up and down
I'm off the ground
Up and down, up and down, up and down
Pain not ceasing, I can be free
In a loving, tender hold
In a tender hold, oh, ohh
