Whatever Comes

Lyrics for Whatever Comes

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh My dear friend, my dear friend Balled up his fists, right hooked the wall Mashed up his knuckles, his knees bent and buckled As he fell to the concrete, I caught him in the heart of Leicester Square And the tourists, they stopped and stared Took out their phones in the midnight glare And with his broken hands, he hid his face As I tried to hold him in place An hour earlier, he seemed like he'd lost it Pacing through the West End, making no sense Oscillating in between, "Leave me alone You are just like the rest" And, "Don't leave me here, I'm sorry, mate, I feel so broken" I say, "We're all broken in some way" And some might say, "Leave the man to his demons" But he's my friend, who else is going to reach him? Now there's a chance We might not make it through the night Whatever comes I hope I get to see it with you Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh My dearest friend, I could have been a better friend Who wants to be alone at the bitter end? That night, when you just had a panic attack All I could offer was a pat on the back I don't mind hugs, to be honest I just felt odd in that moment I'm a broken man, too, with the wrong set of tools Too proud to admit I don't know what to do But I am here now, two broken men in Leicester Square Underneath the tears and the screaming and the glare While you're scattered on the pavement I wrestle down your madness I don't know if I'm helping, but I'm hoping that my presence is enough 'Cause you were there for me when things were tough My hands are just as broken up Swear down, these broken hands will hold you up Now there's a chance We might not make it through the night Whatever comes I hope I get to see it with you Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
