The state of play
I’m through with that
Just trying to stay afloat

Can’t keep my head up
When the water gets this rough
You know it’s not the life I thought it was

Cruising past the pawn shop
Looking for a watch
It’s like your shirt says
Be grateful what you got
But I can’t see things the way that you do
Too much bad advice

Tell me what lifts you up
When love breaks down
Brings you back to life
Let’s drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
Talk the night away
Tell me what lifts you up
When love
When love breaks down

The sleazy lines and sequined suits
Who got paid for that?
First intermission
See you at the bar
Let someone take the empty seat
I’m out the back
Driving off the interstate
Eyes a little tired
Too wired to meditate
I’ve been awake since 5
Let’s go hang with your 4-letter friends
Get some more bad advice

Tell me what lifts you up
When love breaks down
Brings you back to life
Let’s drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
Talk the night away
Tell me what lifts you up
When love
When love breaks down

Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
Talk the night away

Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
Talk the night away

Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
Talk the night away
Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
There's nothing left to say

[Outro]
Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low

Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low

Drop the pulse
Just keep it down low
