I heard an empty sound on the radio today
It took the place of all those things you used to say
I’m just the optimist while we sit here wasting words
I say it every time, but maybe that’s the last we’ve ever heard
Shout, shout! The whole room spins and people won’t let go
Why we live so anchored down, I swear I’ll never know

You could be my rock
And I’d keep you anchored to the floor
At once, I thought I missed you
Now I couldn’t need you more
Can you save me?
Would you save me?
After everything, would you still stay
And save me, be my anchor after all?

Now we’re right back where we started way back when
But time passes by the people that we’ve been since then
At night, the highway burns an auburn shade of red
A sky filled with everything I had the chance and know I should have said
Take, take a part of me that I know isn’t real
Why we live so anchored down, I swear that I can’t deal

You could be my rock
And I’d keep you anchored to the floor
At once, I thought I missed you
Now I couldn’t need you more
Can you save me?
Would you save me?
After everything, would you still stay
And save me, be my anchor after all?

You could be my rock
And I’d keep you anchored to the floor
At once, I thought I missed you
Now I couldn’t need you more
Can you save me?
Would you save me?
After everything, would you still stay
And save me, be my anchor after all?
After all, can you save me, would you save me?
After everything, my anchor after all
After all, can you save me, would you save me?
After everything, my anchor after all…
