If Ever I Stray (Lyrics) By: Frank Turner

Soooooo, some of you may be wondering why I am writing down song lyrics, but I have a good reason. This song is powerful in that it demonstrates the weight of life, death, and everything in between. And yes, I did listen to the song and write down every single word. Thank you, and enjoy.




Forgive me someone for I have sinned,
and I know not where I should begin,
n' some days it feels like you just can't win
no matter what you do or say.

Things didn't kill me, but I don't feel stronger.
Life is short, but it feels much longer.
When you've lost the fight, yeah, you've lost that hunger
to pull yourself through the day.

But if ever I stray from the path I follow,
take me down to the English Channel,
throw me in where the water is shallow,
and then drag me on back to shore.

'Cause love is free,
and life is cheap,
and as long as I got me a place to sleep,
some clothes on my back,
and some food to eat,
then I can't ask for anything more.
So come on everybody, sing it! 1, 2, 3, 4!

We all have secrets that we hold inside,
they're the worst little things that you never could find,
but the worst one of all that you just can't hide, 
is that you're never quite as strong as you sound.

Sorry baby, for the times I've hurt you.
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you.
Most days it feels like I don't deserve you, 
and I wonder that you're all still around.

So, if ever I stray from the path I follow, 
take me down to the English Channel, 
throw me in where the water is shallow,
and then drag me on back to shore.

'Cause love is free, 
and life is cheap, 
and as long as I got me a place to sleep, 
some clothes on my back, 
and some food to eat, 
then I can't ask for anything more.
So come on everybody, sing it! 1, 2, 3, 4!
 
Come on and join me in the water 
and we'll swim for home.
Sometimes it's hard to remember 
that I couldn't do this on my own.

So, if ever I stray from the path I follow, 
take me down to the English Channel, 
throw me in where the water is shallow 
and then drag me on back to shore.
'Cause love is free, 
and life is cheap, 
and as long as I got me a place to sleep, 
some clothes on my back, 
and some food to eat, 
then I can't ask for anything more!

Won't ask for anything more!

The path I chose isn't straight and narrow,
it wanders around like a drunken fellow.
Some days it's hard for me to follow, 
but if you've got my back I'll go on.
If you've got my back I'll go on.
