The lyrics to “How to Save a Life” by The Fray are: Step one, you say, “We need to talk.” He walks, you say, “Sit down. It’s just a talk.” He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Some sort of window to your right as he goes left and you stay right. Between the lines of fear and blame you begin to wonder why you came. (Verse) Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend? Somewhere along in the bitterness, and I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life.
Let him know that you know best, because after all you do know best. Try to slip past his defense without granting innocence. Lay down a list of what is wrong, the things you’ve told him all along. Pray to God, he hears you and I pray to God, he hears you. Repeat verse. As he begins to raise his voice, you lower yours and grant him one last choice. Drive until you lose the road or break with the one you’ve followed. He will do one of two things. He will admit to everything or he’ll say he’s just not the same, and you’ll begin to wonder why you came. Repeat verse 2 times. How to save a life. How to save a life. Repeat verse. How to save a life. How to save a life.
