Description
Wrestling With the Devil" chronicles efforts to break away from addiction. Patrick says, "The song was triggered by the deaths of Cory Monteith, and then Phillip Seymour Hoffman shortly thereafter. But, more immediately, I've watched friends struggle, some successfully, others not".
Lyrics
Well the day is long Miles and miles of empty words to feed us If I had my way, I’d be gone But if I am wrong About every single minute spent between us Maybe I’ll play along Wrestling with the devil He pins me down every time Wrestling with the devil He lets me up…and I’m fine...and I’m wondering if he’s gone I love your face Something in the way you lay beside me If I had my way, I’d stay But I got a call I found someone who knows someone to help me make it another day Wrestling with the devil He pins me down every time Wrestling with the devil He lets me up…and I’m fine...and I’m...wondering if he’s gone I’ll calm you down I’ll put on some tea and make some supper Maybe you’ll stay…..please stay But if I am wrong About every single minute spent between us Maybe I’ll play along Well… Wrestling with the devil He pins me down every time Wrestling with the devil He lets me up…and I’m fine...and I’m...wondering if he’s gone Is he ever gone? He’s never gone
