Lyrics
Verse 1
Rolled up to the curb Lights painting the wall You meet me at the doors Tell me “give me it all” So I start from the top like a stand up bit You ready for the saga? (okay, here’s the stitch) Unknown down time Found face in the rug Roommate freaking out Screaming and shook up Threw on the pads Chucked the bag on the floor Worked the code Got a pulse Yeah, We've been here before
Chorus
I pushed the meds I ran the code I rode the rail down bumpy roads I did the dance The trauma show I saved a life between every pothole You want the big reveal from me The detail you just gotta see? Wait for it Wait and see Eighteen in the left A.C
Verse 2
Airway's patent Yeah, they're breathing okay Got a stat line humming Sugar's okay today Twelve lead clean I could frame that strip Pressure holding steady Never even dipped You’re scribbling in the box Eyebrow raised at my face “Can you speak in bullets Not a Shakespeare play?” I lean on the rail Drop my voice real low “This is the part you really need to know”
Chorus 2
I pushed the meds I ran the code I rode the rail down bumpy roads I did the dance The trauma show I saved a life between every pothole You want the big reveal from me The detail you just gotta see? Wait for it Wait and see Eighteen in the left A.C
Bridge
You’ve heard this speech a thousand nights Different name Same flashing lights But I live for that tiny cheer When I say the words you’re dying to hear
Chorus 3
I pushed the meds I ran the code I rode the rail down bumpy roads I did the dance The trauma show I saved a life between every pothole You want the big reveal from me The line that sets your paperwork free? Here it is Your favorite key: Eighteen in the left A.C Yeah Write it big so the world can see Eighteen in the left A.C
