Lyrics Bruce Hornsby – Meds

I’m sitting here on the phone
Just listening to the dial tone
And if I dial I hope I find nobody home

I’ve been in pain unceasing and I tried to deep-breathe

I’ve been loving, been loving, you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a tender loving hold and it’s got me on this road
I’ve been straight-ahead, out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
In a loving, loving tender hold
I’m been loving, been loving, you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
Loving, loving, loving tender hold

Yes I’ve been

I’d rather feel nothing than this
Wanted to stop feeling
Oh we’ve all had that wish

At the edges, at the margins
This feeling starts creeping in
Gets worse and worse, more and more
Then my dull eyes have brightened

I’ve been loving, been loving, you
With a little help from the meds
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
Loving tender hold
I’ve been straight-ahead, out the bed
Straight up and down off the ground
With a little help from some sympathetic souls
Embraced in a loving tender hold
Oh, tender hold

With a little help from some
With a little help from some
With a little help from some
Embraced with your loving
Embraced in a loving loving tender hold
I’ve been in pain unceasing
Oh, tried to deep-breathe
Oh, makes a bottomless seethe
Straight up and down
Straight up and down and I’m off the ground
Up and down, up and down, up and down, down
Pain unceasing, tried to deep-breathe
In a tender loving tender hold
In a tender hold
