Lyrics[]

All the thoughts in my head,
Spin around like a hurricane.
And life leaves me so confused.
When I trip and fall,
I collapse like a tidal wave.
So I'm crying out to you.

And You reached down out of nowhere,
And picked my heart off the floor. (Let go)
You put my life back together,
And I'm not broken anymore. (Let go)

You're my only wish,
For a dream come true.
When it goes like this,
Will you come to my rescue?
You're the only hope,
That I'm clinging to.
And I hope you know,
I can't live without you. (Ahhh)

I can't live without you. (Ahhh)
I just can't live without you. (Ahhh)

When I'm hit like a hook,
To the join in a tidal fight.
I'm down and I'm knocked out cold;
You know.
And with my heart broke apart,
Like a wreck in a shallow tide, (Shallow tide)
Yeah, I've never felt this low.

And You reached down out of nowhere,
And picked my heart off the floor. (Let go)
You put my life back together,
And I'm not broken anymore. (Now I know)

You're my only wish,
For a dream come true.
When it goes like this,
Will you come to my rescue?
You're the only hope,
That I'm clinging to.
And I hope you know,
I can't live without you. (Ahhh)

I can't live without you. (Ahhh)
I just can't live without you. (Ahhh)

You're my only wish,
For a dream come true.
When it goes like this,
Will you come to my rescue?
You're the only hope,
That I'm clinging to.
And I hope you know,
I can't live without you.

You're my only wish,
For a dream come true.
When it goes like this,
Will you come to my rescue?
You're the only hope,
That I'm clinging to.
And I hope you know,
I can't live without you.
