lyrics

Lately I've been sleeping on couches
Hitching rides and drinking other people's beer
Digging myself deeper into favour debt
At least that is the way it feels from here

You can call me down but not out
I've been in this kind of place before
Back to my corner, water and some smelling salts
It won't be long until I'm coming back for more

The door is always open, I can put the coffee on
You can stay here as long as you need
The circle stays unbroken, as long as you pass it on
A helping hand to get back on your feet

They say you are only as good
As the kinds of people that you keep
If that's the case then I'm doing alright
Because I only keep kings and queens

The door is always open, I can put the coffee on
You can stay here as long as you need
The circle stays unbroken, as long as you pass it on
A helping hand to get back on your feet
