You pick me up – Pete Murray

You have saved me, like you saw my old me
Passion now, flowing in my veins
Breathless days, can sit alone in silence
You brought me sun and took away the rain Honestly, it’s not a phase
Now I stand where before I couldn’t raise
Even a smile just to get me through the days
You pick me up, you pick me up

You took me, you set my world on fire
Red stop light, you are blessed green
No mistakes you march on like you’re wired
You lift me up to the greatest that I’ve been

Honestly, it’s not a phase
Now I stand where before I couldn’t raise
Even a smile just to get me through the days
You pick me up, you pick me up

You pick me up, making me fire
Do you even know how much you’ve saved?

Take me now, I have what I wanted
Bonfire, in my woman’s eye
Thank you hell, you’ve been more than I needed
There’s no black clouds, there is no black at all

Honestly, it’s not a phase
Now I stand where before I couldn’t raise
Even a smile just to get me through the days
You pick me up, you pick me up.
