Send Somebody

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hello to who I’m talking to no more automation

I’m hoping you can walk me through and solve my situation

It’s after midnight and I’ve been on hold so long

You broke through the silence now I’m not alone

You’re asking me to help you see the words begin to flow

This was not my plan or my intention how was I to know

For such a short time feel I’ve known you for so long

And I don’t think I can make it all on my own

So send somebody ’cause I’m stranded and there’s no place left where I can run

Send somebody ’cause I’m hanging by a thread now the whole damn thing’s undone

You have to know I can’t let go now I’ve made this connection

It’s either love that runs the show or random speculation

In my desperation I’m a danger to myself

I need your direction yeah I need someone else

So send somebody ’cause I’m stranded and there’s no place left where I can run

Send somebody ’cause I’m hanging by a thread now the whole damn thing’s undone

From my window as the leaves begin to fall

Before the cold wind comes please hear my call

And send somebody ’cause I’m stranded and there’s no place left where I can run

Send somebody ’cause I’m hanging by a thread now the whole damn thing’s undone

Send somebody ’cause I’m stranded and there’s no place left where I can run

Send somebody ’cause I’m hanging by a thread now the whole damn thing’s undone

Somebody, send somebody, send someone
