Recovery Lyrics - Frank Turner

Blacking in and out in a strange flat in East London. 

Somebody I don't really know just gave me something 

To help settle me down and to stop me from always thinking about you 

And you know your life is heading in a questionable direction 

When you're up for days with strangers and you can't remember anything 

Except the way you sounded when you told me you didn't know what I should do 

It's a long road up to recovery from here 

A long way back to the light 

A long road up to recovery from here 

A long way to making it right 

And I've been waking in the morning just like every other day 

And just like every boring blues song I get swallowed by the pain 

And so I fumble for your figure in the darkness just to make it go away 

But you're not lying there any longer and I know that that's my fault 

So I've been pounding on the floor and I've been crawling up the walls 

And I've been dipping in my darkness for serotonin boosters 

Cider and some kind of smelling salts

It's a long road up to recovery from here 

A long way back to the light 

A long road up to recovery from here 

A long way to making it right 

And on the first night we met you said ["Well darling, let's make a deal.If anybody ever asks us, let's just tell them that we met in jail."] 

And that's the story that I'm sticking to like a stony-faced accomplice 

But tonight I need to hear some truth if I'm ever getting through this 

Yeah you once sent me a letter that said, ["If you're lost at sea, Close your eyes and catch the tide my dear and only think of me."] 

Well darling now I'm sinking and I'm as lost as lost can be 

And I was hoping you could drag me up from down here towards my recovery 

If you could just give me a sign, just a subtle little glimmer 

Some suggestion that you'd have me if I could only make me better 

Then I would stand a little stronger as I walk a little taller, all the time 

Because I know you are a cynic but I think I can convince you 

Yeah, 'cause broken people can get better if they really want to 

Or at least that's what I have to tell myself if I am hoping to survive

It's a long road up to recovery from here 

A long way back to the light 

A long road up to recovery from here 

A long way to making it right 

So darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover 

Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover 

Darling, sweet lover, won't you help me to recover 

Darling, sweet lover, one day this will all be over
