«Ragged»

Tekst: Joakim Solbakken Musikk: Joakim Solbakken

I’ve been a wanderer
Restless to my bone
When I’m alone
Trying to find someone
That I can confide in
When my heart’s wearing thin
I’ve got sore feet of walking
Wearing out my shoes down to the sole
I’m slipping through the cracks
Landed on my back
When it all seemed so black

Feels like I’m alone
Need a hand to hold
Someone I can love
I need a cornerstone
I’m ragged but I’m fine
I just don’t thrive
when I am on my own

I met you on the street, dear
And the way that you looked into my eyes
You caught me by surprise
Like I was without shame
If I only knew your name
I was too young when I had to figure out
What my life was really all about
I had to make it on my own
Carry on through crises
Live with my wises and
hold on tight and make it right

Promise never to let go of me
Oh, promise never to let go of me!
Oh, promise, the state I’m in is temporary
Oh, promise, one day we will be all set free

And you took me to that place
Where I could rest my head
And be my self instead
I just sat and talked
You listened carefully
It meant the world to mw
A perfect place to thrive
