Walking through all the desperate faces
It's cold enough to see your breath
Wrapped up and huddled together
Trying not to catch death
Steam comes up from the subway
Ice falls down from the sky
He takes pause at his own reflection
In the window of the Five and Dime
Just long enough to see right through his empty eyes
Just long enough to see right through his own lies
He said
I wanna save a life tonight
I'm not ready to die
I think I saw the light tonight
I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'
Boy, you're not getting any younger
And you're living on borrowed time
And you could save a life tonight
Yeah you could save a life tonight
He caught a glimmer of a glimpse of heaven
On Friday or the night before
He saw the face of old Saint Peter
Beckoning him through the door
He said I'm not quite ready to die
I haven't learned to love just yet
I wanna give it another try
Is there somebody else instead
I'm not strong enough
But you could give me the strength I need
For just long enough for me to make the most of me
I wanna save a life tonight
I'm not ready to die
I think I saw the light tonight
I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'
Boy, you're not getting any younger
And you're living on borrowed time
And you could save a life tonight
Yeah, you could save a life tonight
Yeah, you could save a life tonight
Yeah, you could save a life tonight
Yeah, you could save a life tonight
I was the Lazarus you were the Christ
Breath into me, gave me new life
The demons fled, angels of light
Carried me through the night
I was the Lazarus you were the Christ
Breath into me, gave me new life
I was the Lazarus you were the Christ
Breath into me, gave me new life
You bring me back to life
I wanna save a life tonight
I'm not ready to die
I think I saw the light tonight
I heard a voice that sounded just like mine sayin'
Boy, you're not getting any younger
And you're living on borrowed time
And you could save a life tonight
Yeah you could save a life tonight
