The needle on my compass must be busted or bent 00:22
'Cause I can't walk straight 00:25
And I'm feelin' kinda beaten like the rusted out 00:29
Hinges on the backyard gate 00:32
Well, everybody lies too much 00:35
Hoping they can find true love 00:39
'Cause hell is what we all go through 00:43
To try and find an angel like you 00:46
Woah-oh 00:49

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
The needle on my compass must be busted or bent
'Cause I can't walk straight
And I'm feelin' kinda beaten like the rusted out
Hinges on the backyard gate
Well, everybody lies too much
Hoping they can find true love
'Cause hell is what we all go through
To try and find an angel like you
Woah-oh
Well, thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
(Or else I'm just standing in the dark)
My soul's got holes like a shotgun pattern on a highway sign
And the lady on the radio can stick this damn rain where the sun don't shine
Well, everybody lies too much
Hoping they can find true love
'Cause hell is what we all go through
To try and find an angel like you
Woah-oh
Well, thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Well, thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Or else I'm just standing in the dark (dark)
...
...
You turn to me as if to say
Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away
You can't explain, you just let go
Of all the pain that the world will never know
You turn to me as if to say
Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away
You can't explain, you just let go
Of all the pain that the world will never know
Well, thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Well, thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
You turn to me as if to say (your turn to breathe)
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
You can't explain, you just let go (just let it go)
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
