I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
There's been something
something else talkin' in my ear
Someone save me
When I speak it begins to decay
I'm not about to bury myself
Oh, God
My hands are shaking again
Calm down, calm down
Now I can't feel the floor and my vision
Takes its toll on me
no
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
Oh God, it's racing through my veins
I'm afraid there must be some kind of mistake
Oh, I'm in over my head again
Reach in and grab a hold of me
I'm so scared that I've started to slip
They say that I'll never change
I'll prove 'em wrong, prove 'em wrong
It's over
It's over
I hear the calling but it's passing through
Clean me up show me how to live
I hear the calling but it's passing through
Clean me up show me how to live
Tear me down
Let me start again
And you're the savior
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
There's been something
something else talkin' in my ear
Someone save me
When I speak it begins to decay
I'm not about to bury myself
Oh, God
My hands are shaking again
Calm down, calm down
Now I can't feel the floor and my vision
Takes its toll on me
no
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
Oh God, it's racing through my veins
I'm afraid there must be some kind of mistake
Oh, I'm in over my head again
Reach in and grab a hold of me
I'm so scared that I've started to slip
They say that I'll never change
I'll prove 'em wrong, prove 'em wrong
It's over
It's over
I hear the calling but it's passing through
Clean me up show me how to live
I hear the calling but it's passing through
Clean me up show me how to live
Tear me down
Let me start again

all i can say about this song and the whole new album in general is OH MY GOD. these guys keep getting better. this song is most likely about his addictions taking hold of him, like circus said. and how he wants God to clean him of it all.
that makes sense cause i think Spencer (lead vocals) was addicted to drugs at one point in his life... i agree
