[Verse 1] Got a blank page starin' back at me Like it knows my name and won't let me breathe Pen in my hand, but it won't move right I been punchin' holes in the words tonight I spill my thoughts on a chipped-up mug Trace out circles in the wood-grain dust Hit that wall, then I hit my knees Tryin' to drag one line outta me [Pre-Chorus] Then you call, say, "don't quit now" "Let it sit, let it breathe somehow" You laugh loud, and the whole room turns Like a match got struck in the dark again [Chorus] Pull me out, pull me out When the page goes cold Pull me out, pull me out When I lose my soul You hand me one good line I get my fire back Pull me out, pull me out Yeah, just like that [Verse 2] I been raw all week, stuck in the mud Chewin' on doubt like it's bad enough Every idea come and go too fast Like a screen door slam in the August grass But you say, "write what hurts, write what’s true" "Start with one beat, then build it new" So I scribble your name in the margin space And the whole damn sky starts changin' pace [Pre-Chorus] Then you call, say, "don't quit now" "Let it sit, let it breathe somehow" You laugh loud, and the whole room turns Like a match got struck in the dark again [Chorus] Pull me out, pull me out When the page goes cold Pull me out, pull me out When I lose my soul You hand me one good line I get my fire back Pull me out, pull me out Yeah, just like that [Bridge] Some days I’m all knots and dust Some days I don’t trust my own buzz But you stay close when the words go thin And you make that door swing open again [Final Chorus] Pull me out, pull me out When the page goes cold Pull me out, pull me out When I lose my soul You hand me one good line I get my fire back Pull me out, pull me out Yeah, just like that Pull me out, pull me out When I can't go on Pull me out, pull me out Till the doubt is gone You hand me one good line I get my fire back Pull me out, pull me out Yeah, just like that
