Quicksand

You’ll be knocked out
Come around
Shot down
Shatter on the stony ground
Yeah take it from me
It’s how it’ll be
Your dreams will come true
Fall through
Screw you
Batter you to black and blue
Yeah take it from me
It’s how it’ll be
Love’s gonna leave you broken
Time’s gonna work you over
You get up, you get up
You keep rolling on
Life’s gonna bring you glory
But there’s another side to the story
You get up and suck it up
You keep rolling on
But if you crash land
In the quicksand
I will pick you up
I’ll pull you out
And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch it up
We’ll work it out
La la la la la la
We will patch it up
We’ll work it out
You’ll be on track
On the rack
Bounce back
Wheeling down a bumpy road
Yeah take it from me
That’s how it’ll be
Through the good times
The sad times
Oh off you go
But take it from me
Whatever you need
Love’s gonna leave you broken
Time’s gonna work you over
You get up, you get up
You keep rolling on
Life’s gonna bring you glory
But there’s another side to the story
You get up and suck it up
You keep rolling on
But if you crash land
In the quicksand
I will pick you up
I’ll pull you out
And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch it up
We’ll work it out
When your world cracks open
When your heart is broken
We will patch it up
We’ll work it out
Life’s gonna bring you glory
But when there’s another side to the story
We will patch you up
We’ll work it out
And if the world shakes
Your brittle heart breaks
We will patch you up
We’ll work it out
