| Song lyrics |
Step one you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down, it’s just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you,
You stare politely right on through,
Some sort of window to your right.
As he goes left and you stay right,
Between the lines of fear and blame,
You begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
Let him know that you know best,
'Cause after all you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense,
Without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong.
The things you’ve told him all along.
Pray to god he hears you.
And I pray to god he hears you and,
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
As he begins to raise his voice,
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
"Drive until you lose the road,
Or break with the ones you’ve followed."
He will do one of two things.
He will admit to everything,
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same,
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
How to save a life.
How to save a life.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
How to save a life.
How to save a life.

This song makes me cry. Lol it's an excellent song and it's so touching. Isaac was friends with a crack-addicted teen and everyone told that kid to stop and get help and they criticized him when all he wanted was someone to help him. Sry I couln't resist. Love it.  | 01-12-2005 01:08 Tuffguy1188 |  70 posts

I am seriously obsessed with lyrics. This song is why I keep searching. It's amazing. With so many things it can relate to, it has a diffferent meaning to everyone. That's why I love it. | 04-06-2006 20:21 HiddenMelody33 |  5 posts

All i keep reading is how this song makes everyone cry... Well its true for me too. The lyrics are incredible and the emotion in the melody cuts straight to the heart. The fray is a great band that is quickly becoming my favorite. Their lyrics make me feel like I wrote them because they explain everything I can't get into words. | 09-06-2006 20:44 iheartyou5993 |  9 posts

| this song is beautiful.. When I heard it on Greys Anatomy I got so excited and it was used in a very cute way... I love it ! | 18-07-2006 03:37 appleshampoo602 |  4 posts
| Personalmente adoro THE FRAY pienso eso OVER MY HEAD era una gran espalda de la manera de la canción cuando empezó y para pensar básicamente que es la manera más popular ahora es tan buena. la otra cosa es que oí HOW TO SAVE A LIFE en la radio hace cosa de un mes y yo pensé que eso era otra gran canción por ellos tan nosotros veremos cómo hace en el futuro
personally i love /the fray/ i think that /over my head/ was a great song way back when it started and basically to think that it is way more popular now is so good. the other thing is that i heard /how to save a life/ on the radio about a month ago and i thought that that was another great song by them so we will see how it does in the future

| This song has to be the best song I've ever heard from The Fray. How to Save A Life is my favorite song because it, too, reminds me of a friend that commited suicide. We weren't really that close but I hung out with him a few times and he was a really cool guy to talk to.

I really love this song. I just decided to check out the Fray after hearing "Over My Head" and "Look After You" on another friends myspace, as well as the radio.
It is so beautifully and simply written,and the piano is utterly amazing. This song reminds me of my cousin who battled with drugs and alcohol for several years before overdosing and dying at the age of 20. There are times that I feel like if I had told on her as a kid when I knew she had weed, or begged her to stop or done SOMETHING she wouldn't have gone into the downward spiral that she did.
This song reminds me of that, but also makes me feel hopeful. |
