Like You Used To

Is there a reason in the things we say
And shout at one another?
We're three sheets to the wind
And every word just pulls us under
All the dirt we've piled upon
Our layers of decay
Just love me darlin', I think I can stay
Love me like you used to do way back when
'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet
And you fell back in the saddle
Left time standing still
And put all your troubles right on me

To say we've got your problems
Is an understated truth
But in your times of clarity
I found the light in you
So when your skin's crawlin'
And that light begins to fade
Just love me darlin', I think I can stay
Love me like you used to do way back when

If I could take your pain away
You'd never have to try
Maybe then, just maybe
We could lead a normal life
Freedom has new meaning
Tied to your ball and chain
Just love me darlin', I think I can stay
Love me like you used to do way back when
'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet
And you fell back in the saddle
Left time standing still
And put all your troubles right on me

Just love me darlin', I think I can stay
Just love me darlin', I think I can stay
Just love me
