Pete Wylie - Moving Targets [Saving Grace] (Original Song)

(Lyrics below description) To whoever actually watches this: Sorry about not posting a video in a while, never really got round to it, this is a relatively new one, which I'm still sort of tweaking, so if you notice any bits too high or low for my voice, or anything wrong, just comment on it I won't mind. And don't be put off by my voice btw, just listen to my song, and imagine Barry White singing it, that always amuses me.
Lyrics:
I would lie down in the street
If I were fit to cushion your feet
But we were destined never to meet
And I was born a day too late

I would dream but I'm too blind
To pull the thread that's caught in my mind
So I will live a tangled life
And from my web you shall escape

I close my eyes and cut the wire
and pour my soul over the fire
I've never felt so fucking tired
and only desire keeps me awake

Sing me to sleep, my spirit dove
Release the poison that's lying in my blood
There is no way to save me from the flood
And god knows how long I can wait
God knows how long I can wait

If I die tonight, be my saving grace
I don't trust myself, I don't trust myself
And If I lose my way, put me back in place
Would it be a shame? Would it be a waste?

All the things that people have said
They haven't come to anything yet
But I loved her like a wet cigarette
That though I try I can't ignite

And there is a hole inside my head
Out of which all my memories have bled
So of all the paths down which I've been led
I can't remember which were right
I can't remember which were right

And if I die tonight, be my saving grace
I don't trust myself, I don't trust myself
If I lose my way, put my back in place
Would it be a shame? Would it be a waste

(Me wailing for a little bit)

And in my pocket, a means to an end
is telling me that my only friend
Is the ink that falls so softly from my pen
into the words that I would write

And as I hover in the doorway so red,
the exit sign makes a halo on my head.
And I will embrace the dark, and stumble off the edge
And bid you all a peaceful night
And bid you all a peaceful night.
