this whole city needs someone like you for survival
you're a bulletproof vest in a firefight
you're an oxygen mask when the plane is diving
you're a phone number to call to hear someone on the line
and i've touched things that i shouldn't touch
and i've loved people that i couldn't love
i've got things working against me
they're boiling deep in my blood
but i'm doing alright now, just trying to be good
if you were an oak tree maybe i could light a fire
just a little of your spark could really help us through the night
