She moved away when she turned eighteen
In search of home, didn't know what that means

Thought she'd find it somewhere on the big screen
She just kept running, she just kept running
Hollywood wasn't all that she thought
City of angels but her wings got caught
She got high enough to think she met God
She told him something, she told him

Give me a reason, give me a sign
'Cause I'm down and out of my mind
Is there someone out there

To throw me down a lifeline?
Sending a prayer up into the night
Tell me, am I doing this right?
I could use a little bit of help

From the outside

Pay check, living week to week
He clocks out just to get no sleep
A nightmare of an American dream
They all want something, they all want something
It's just stress, so the doctor says
His young heart's beating out of his chest
Student loans and medical debt
The bills keep coming, and he says

Give me a reason, give me a sign
'Cause I'm down and out of my mind
Is there someone out there

To throw me down a lifeline?
Sending a prayer up into the night
Tell me, am I doing this right?
I could use a little bit of help

From the outside

Hear me out, hear me out
From the outside, can you hear me?
Hear me out, hear me out
From the outside, can you hear me?
Help me out, help me out
From the outside, can you help me?
Help me out, help me out
From the outside

Could you give me a reason, give me a sign?
'Cause I'm down and out of my mind
Is there someone out there

To throw me down a lifeline?
Sending a prayer up into the night
Tell me, am I doing this right?
I could use a little bit of help

From the outside

Give anything for my dad's advice
I'd like to think that he's in the sky
I stay up late talking to him sometimes
I hope he hears me when I say
