Oh, you poor boy out in the water It’s sad now, looking back from here It’s bad, oh so bad the things you had to see Now I know that your heart just pumps blood all the time And I know that your mind keeps playing all your thoughts And I know that you only stand to see the best in me I was saved by salt Sugar and pills Yeah, I was saved from all the things That you could have possibly come after me I was saved by salt I was saved by her swinging She talked about saving my soul But I just wanted to be whole with you ()(2x) When I was reaching for the best you had to give I really wanted all your worst to fall in, dear When I got ripped off your hands Freezing hands out west Was when my hunger for her Drowned me up in dust And now my fire grows as I walk down Your lips are slow around your mouth Inside this house Time has stopped for me I was saved by salt Sugar and pills Yeah, I was saved from all the things That you could have possibly come after me I was saved by salt I was saved by her swinging She talked about saving my soul But I just wanted to be whole with you
