How does it feel to fall to your knees 
When your feet were dug into the sand 
Well the rest turned away, said they didn’t like the way 
You dealt with the matter at hand 

Live downstairs, on the bottom of your ceiling 
I vouch for your friend that everyone hates 
I’ve heard her secrets taken to the grave 
And only see your face in the hallway 
Called up my friend with a heartfelt favor 
Asked him for paying of the dues I’ve made 
Wake in the morning with stormy weather 
Bought from the man ??? out my way 

She’s so far west, a local’s guest 
Running through your mind 'til she’s out of breath 
Saints and sinners, different dialects 
I’ll say sorry if the call connects 
Cruel is my ??? called you unfamiliar 
Lying on the step to check your pulse 
I rustle in my bag to find the better side of me I don’t know 
Called up my friend asked a friendly favor 
All for the dues that I’d felt I’d paid 
He told me “my comrade I’m not your savior” 
She’s living down the bottom of Elmore Grange 

How does it felt to fall to your knees 
When your feet were dug into the sand?
Well the rest turned away said they didn’t like the way 
You dealt with the matter at hand
