I was a macho heartbeat
You couldn't tell me twice
I'd tear the young thing in two
Destined to roam
And to be alone
On that bicycle built for two
You were a hip sharp-shooter
With penetrating eyes
That kept me under control
Right from the start
You moved into my heart
And you stayed there forever more
Oh yeah, you saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, you saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
I was a paper-pusher
And every minute of my day
Was marred in the mud of sun
Yeah every conference track
Was squeezed tight
To fit the wires of my speaker code
So I went back in time
Through the stacks and piles
To find something to call my own
Yeah that sound found me nostalgic for
A feeling that' I'd never known
Oh yeah, it saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, it saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
I was a junkie apparition
In the flesh and bone
A sun of less than zero
I was in too deep
I would nod off to sleep
With my back against the pay stoves
There was a price on my head
Alive of dead
With little reason to survive
I could see the end
But my friends step in
And gave me back my life
Oh yeah, they saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
My friends saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
Yes, it saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
My friends saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
Oh my friends saved me
When I didn't think I could believe
