Sympathize - Amos Lee

It ain't no jive 
I was burning alive 
Whenever you walk in the room 
It happened so quickly 
I was feeling so sickly 
Like a lover who lost his muse 

The sharks in the tank or 
The men in the bank 
He wants my money to loan 
I can't understand 
What the hell is his plan 
While he ain't even got a home 
Ain't got a home 

Girl on a street 
With holes in her feet 
Looks through the eyes of a cloud 
She don't look amazed 
She's feeling kind of sad 
So I just walk around 

I reassess 
She's down on her luck 
She's reading a book of lies 
I don't know when I'll be coming home baby 
But I shall sympathize 

Can sympathize 
Can sympathize 

Angels spread their wings 
On all the dirty things 
But you 
Do 

She drops to the floor 
Her head's by the door 
Her bible is by her side 
Heaven is calling 
The new world is falling 
And she ain't got a single person left 
To confide 
No one to confide 
No one to confide 
Ah to confide 

I sympathize 
Can sympathize
