Verse 1:
I am a flower in a field,
I am a sparrow in a tree
But you know that when I fall,
I am dust, can only crawl,
when I can't get any lower,
you're still here

Verse 2:
I see the sky a canopy,
a blanket with holes pulled over me
But you hear me going under
and you come in coals and thunder
You seem so far but somehow,
so very near

Pre-Chorus:
And I'm alright when I'm by your side
I'm alright when I'm by your side
I'm alright

Chorus:
How you save me,
It's only you that stands between me
and the million ways that I would choose
to give myself away

How you save me,
By the way you speak so tenderly
and calm my fears by promising
you'll stay

Verse 3:
I am a cloud just out of reach
I am a sand grain on a beach
But you know me when I'm flying
and you know when I'm just lying
But you love me just the same, oh, just
the same

Pre-Chorus:
And I'm alright when I'm by your side
I'm alright when I'm by your side
I'm alright

Chorus:
How you save me,
It's only you that stands between me
and the million ways that I would choose
to give myself away

How you save me,
By the way you speak so tenderly
and calm my fears by promising
you'll stay

Bridge:
Can't say your way's convenient
'Deus Ex Machina' isn't
how my story ends, but
When push comes to shove,
is it enough?Is it enough
that you have shown me that you love me
more than life itself?

Outro:
How you save me, ooh
How you save me, lalalala (x8)

(And I'm alright, I’m alright
When I’m by your side)
