How Many Times? - Bernard Fanning

If this is who you say you are

A feeble mind, a collapsing heart

You’re in need of a brand new start

Take my body to the top of the hill

Let my mind and heart be still

Take a breath let your lungs refill

I fear we’re going sideways waiting for you

To make up your mind

I fell into the darkest place waiting for you

How many times can we say we’ve hit the bottom and still

Find a way further down

Whatever darkness should descend on us we’ll still find

Our way around

Drastic measures are on your mind

Treasures unwrapping to be lies

Shooting the messenger won’t make it right

Take my body to the top of the hill

Let my mind and heart be still

Take a breath let your lungs refill

I fear we’re going sideways waiting for you

To make up your mind

I fell into the darkest place waiting for you

How many times can we say we’ve hit the bottom and still

Find a way further down

Whatever darkness should descend on us we’ll still find

Our way around
