Take You Home (v. 2.1)

Got drunk with a friend who was hurting, revised, revised again... are we ever happy?

It's a little after midnight and you're four fifths in,
Runnin' from a fight you just can't win (just can't win),
Swimming 'gainst the tide, drifting far from home,
Drowning out your fears, sinking like a stone.

But.

You won't let me catch you,
I wish you'd let me try (let me try).
Yeah, I know it's hurting, and it's ok for to cry,
Come let me hold you, oh please, let me try,

I see you're drowning, trying not to cry,
At the bottom of a bottle, your light begins to die,
The shadow's getting deeper, wraps you in the dark,
And there's nothing but an ember, where there used to be a spark.

Yeah I know it's hurting, and it's ok for to cry,
Come let me hold you, oh please let me try,
To be a shoulder you can lean on,
The road that leads you home.

You’re treadin’ deep water, current drags you down,
I'm right beside you, don't wanna see you drown,
I see you hurting, trying not to cry,
But you won’t let me hold you,
And I don't know why (don't know why, don't know why).

Yeah.

So you feel you’re breaking, heart got torn in two,
A rip that's getting wider, no matter what you do,
I would be your shoulder, lighten up your load,
As you drift alone in darkness,
I would be your road (be your road).

Yeah you see I'm hurting (I know you hafta cry),
Won't you come and hold me? (Together we could try),
Oh, please be here beside me (Ev'ry step of the way),
See me through the darkness ('Til the light of day),

Yeah I know it's hurting, and it's ok for to cry,
Come let me hold you, oh please let me try,
To be a shoulder you can lean on,
The road that leads you home,

I will take you home (Bring you home).

Edit: Really very pleased with this AI arrangement... even if I promptly changed one word after listening.
