[Verse 1]
I tried not to slip
Sank into a leather chair and lost my grip
Shut my eyes to keep my cool but started burning up
I needed you to give enough
To get me through the worst of it
[Chorus]
Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
[Verse 2]
I lived a long life tonight
My busy mind was trying to catch the flecks of light
I heard you say we’re fighting wars that won’t be won
Until the day we both are gone
But we will be alright
[Chorus]
Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
[Bridge]
I can’t help but stop and stare
Your words are hanging in the air
Trading secrets in the dark
Brushing off the petty painful parts
[Chorus]
Feels like I’m finally coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
