John Mark Mcmillan The Medicine Lyrics


The Medicine by John Mark McMillan

[Verse 1]
Driving by those trucker stops
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks
With a hole inside your chest
The size of a city block
I remember the days
When you said you weren't afraid to die
I don't think you're brave for it
I just think you're more afraid of being alive

[Chorus]
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause I miss you, son
I'd bring you back home
If I was the one
But it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade

[Verse 2]
Here's to waking up with that stone between your ribs
And you're lying down again
You just pretend you don't know what it is
When everyone around you says you're not the one to blame for it
But you're the only one that's feeling the pain for it
So you're gonna take matters into your own hands, yeah

[Chorus]
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause I miss you son
I'd bring you back home if I was the one
But it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade

If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause I miss you son
I'd bring you back home, but I'm not the one
'Cause it's four and it's ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend to silence the pain
And I'm wide awake
And there's blood

[Instrumental Outro]
