Rescued

Song byJack's Mannequin

in AlbumEverything In Transit

Two to one

Static to the sound of you and I

I'm done for the last time

And there this was

Hiding at the bottom of your

Swimming pool some September

And don't you think

I wish I could stay

Your lips give you away

I can hear it, the jet engine

Through the center of the storm

And I'm thinking I'd

Prefer not to be rescued

Two to none

Roads that lead away from this

I'm following myself just this once

And I've got spun

It appears you're spun as well

It happens when you pay attention

This could take all year, but

When it's quiet, does she hear me?

The jet is sent to the

Center of the storm

And I'm thinking I

Prefer not to be rescued

Oh, I can feel her, she's dying

Just to keep me cool

I'm finally numb, so please

Don't get me rescued... rescued...

And it's unclear

But this may be my last song

Oh, I, I can tell

She's raising hell to give to me

But she got me once

So please don't get me rescued

Oh, say you'll miss me one last time

I'll be strong, but whatever you do

Please don't get me rescued...

Cause I'm feeling like

I might need to be near you

And I feel alright, so please

Don't get me rescued...
