Mat Kearney Lyrics
"Down"

It took his breath away holding the bank page
He got the letter they're gonna take their house away
"I'm 'bout to have a daughter"
He yells it in the air
Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette
Felt it on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He pull's the window down
Shouts it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying, "Lord help us now"
He's looking for a reason
Watching the sun coming down

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, "Hallelujah"
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
It's coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
It's coming down now
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

It was Monday night
Under the street lights
She's turning 17 in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds
Walking in monotone
She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul
On the road alone in a house that's half a home
They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone
She's looking for a reason
Watching the sun coming down

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, "Hallelujah"
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
It's coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Take these broken streets
Take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we were walking free
Tell me it will change
I see it in your face
The hope
The fear
The love
The faith

I'm working late again
Slaving to make the rent
I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement
They're coming one by one
The face of falling love
I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups

Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs, "Hallelujah"
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
It's coming down now
We all need forgiveness

Can you hear when we call
There were we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
At the top of our lungs
How far we've come
Where pain and love bleed into one
All that we need
It's so bittersweet
The pain that opens our eyes to see
Baby when all you see is darkness coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
It's coming down now
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Coming down now
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
It's coming down now
