ABOUT THIS TRACK
I woke up one Sunday morning after a gig with - quite honestly - the worst hangover I have ever had. I was so hungover that it hurt to even watch TV. I rolled over on the couch and picked up my guitar and this song just wrote itself in five minutes.
It makes sense in this context as it's about the one person or thing that even at your lowest ebb, is enough to make you get up in the morning and try to make yourself a better person.
Although people often tell me that they think the chorus is 'stay safe in my soul' it's 'saving my soul'. They both work I guess.

LYRICS
Well I was not made for this world for too long
Oh but eating my pride it has made me so strong
And the touch of these girls it has left me so weak
Now I can't stand my own name or walk on these streets
Don't go – stay saving my soul
Heart attacks, broken backs, bitches and liars
They have hovered around all the good in my life
Just like Alison said I should change all my locks
Just like the hit from these cigarettes won't let me stop
Don't go – stay saving my soul
There's comfort in strangers but I can't stop once I start
And I guess it's just a temporary cure for the holes in this heart
And the bits of me break off as I'm moving along
Years ago I stopped trying to stick 'em back on
Don't go – stay saving my soul
Well I was not made for this world for too long
Oh but eating my pride it has made me so strong
And the touch of these girls it has left me so weak
Now I can't stand my own name or walk on these streets
Don't go – stay saving my soul
Heart attacks, broken backs, bitches and liars
They have hovered around all the good in my life
Just like Alison said I should change all my locks
Just like the hit from these cigarettes won't let me stop
Don't go – stay saving my soul
There's comfort in strangers but I can't stop once I start
And I guess it's just a temporary cure for the holes in this heart
And the bits of me break off as I'm moving along
Years ago I stopped trying to stick 'em back on
Don't go – stay saving my soul
