Save Me
When I wrote this, I immediately decided that it was the best thing I’d ever done. I wasn’t able to pull it off as well as I’d hoped, sorry.
There isn’t room in here for all of us
in your heart you know that something has to go
but the future is unknowable
Possibilities for us you never know
So make another pile high
almost blotting out the sky
Save me, save me
Keep me for another day
Save me, save me
Don’t just throw me away
‘Cause you’ll need me
Some other sunny day
It is an error in psychology
The ancient fear that a famine could be near
so our minds do extrapolate
paranoid that everything will disappear
Driving us to keep it all
Make a pile in the hall
Save me, save me
Keep me for another day
Save me, save me
Don’t just throw me away
‘Cause you’ll need me
Some other sunny day
Friends arrive to unburden us
Offering to help remove unwanted things
Asking us to prioritize
Everybody knowing what tomorrow brings
There isn’t any way to know
Or choosing anything to go
Save me, save me
Keep me for another day
Save me, save me
Don’t just throw me away
‘Cause you’ll need me
Some other sunny day
