Picks up his hat. Pulls on his boots.
Ripped up jeans - yeah he's got nothing to lose.
Ticks on the clock. Hands in his pockets.
Cigarette it's hanging out of his mouth.
Works on the job. He don't like where he's gone.
He found he was running, then he ran out of luck.
"What do they see in a man like me?" Not much.

Well every day's the same. He knows he's ready for a change.
He says, "Believe in me" This place is smaller than it seems.
He's grown much bigger than his dreams.
He says, "Believe in me".

Picks up the phone.
She's always alone. Broken heart, and she's got no place to go.
Books on the shelf. She'll stick to herself.
Cigarettes they're only bad for her health.
Lives on the job. She don't like what she's done.
She found she was falling, then she fell out of love.
"What do they see in a woman like me?" Not much.

It's time for her to stop She's sick of living by the clock.
She says, "Believe in me".
She's afraid of getting wet But she's been drowning in regret.
She says, "Believe in me".
