I was a macho heartbeat You couldn't tell me twice I'd tear the young thing in two Destined to roam And to be alone On that bicycle built for two
You were a hip sharp-shooter With penetrating eyes That kept me under control Right from the start You moved into my heart And you stayed there forever more
Oh yeah, you saved me When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, you saved me When I didn't think I could believe
I was a paper-pusher And every minute of my day Was marred in the mud of sun Yeah every conference track Was squeezed tight To fit the wires of my speaker code
So I went back in time Through the stacks and piles To find something to call my own Yeah that sound found me nostalgic for A feeling that' I'd never known
Oh yeah, it saved me When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, it saved me When I didn't think I could believe
I was a junkie apparition In the flesh and bone A sun of less than zero I was in too deep I would nod off to sleep With my back against the pay stoves
There was a price on my head Alive of dead With little reason to survive I could see the end But my friends step in And gave me back my life
Oh yeah, they saved me When I didn't think I could believe
My friends saved me When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, it saved me When I didn't think I could believe
My friends saved me When I didn't think I could believe
Oh my friends saved me When I didn't think I could believe
