  • A little sleep, a little slumber
    A little folding of the hands
    Left you weak, left you hungry
    When there's supply you still demand

    You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
    Will this phase ever end?
    A thousand arms to hold you
    But you won't reach for any hands 'cause

    I don't feel like I'm
    Getting through to you
    Let me paint this clear
    Life is short, my dear
    See your mother here
    Her last painful year
    I wish you only knew
    She stuck around for you
    She stuck around for you

    Maybe you should just fall
    And leave the world and lose it all
    And if that's what you need
    To finally see
    I'll be with you through it all

    Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
    Medicating will never heal
    Relapse, rehab, repeat
    Always thinking about the me, me, me

    Self-destruct, spiral down
    Until your want becomes your need
    Please get up like I know you can
    Or forever love the fall 'cause

    I don't feel like I'm
    Getting through to you
    Let me paint this wheel
    Life is short, my dear
    See your mother here
    Her last painful year
    I wish you only knew
    She stuck around for you
    She stuck around for you

    Maybe you should just fall (just fall)
    And leave the world and lose it all (leave the world and lose it all)
    And if that's what you need
    To finally see
    I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)

    I can't stand to see you down
    Strung out, off the wagon, and undwound
    But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
    I can't bear to hear the sound of your body, body
    Hitting the ground

    I can't stand to see you down
    Strung out, off the wagon, and undwound
    But steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny, Jenny
    I can't bear to hear the sound of your body body
    Hitting the ground

    Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny

    She stuck around for you
    She stuck around for you
    She stuck around for you

    Maybe you should just fall
    Leave the world and lose it all
    If that's what you need to finally see
    She loved you through it all

    Maybe you should just fall
    Leave the world and lose it all
    If that's what you need to finally see
    She loved you through it all
    And I'll be with you through it all Writer/s: DANIEL OLIVER, JONATHAN TAYLOR HAWKINS, MARK ANTHONY VOLLELUNGA, WILL HOFFMAN
