Lori McKenna – The Fixer lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Fixer comes home one night
Tinkers with the kitchen light
Tells his wife to find something to eat
Kisses her cheek softly

[Verse 2]
"Are you cold," he says, feeling her hand
Leaves ginger ale on the nightstand
She's too tired to take a sip
So The Fixer finds something to fix

[Chorus]
He's got bicycle tires and lawnmower parts
Miles of wires and kitchen drawer knobs
Transistor radios, scrap metal
Hand-me-down tools, one of everything
Old keys to unlock unknown things

[Verse 3]
The Fighter says "Some things just can't be fixed"
Touching the cross on her necklace
Reminding The Fixer that she still believes
He whispers, "Then ask for a miracle please"

[Verse 4]
The Fighter is fighting so damn hard
She sits on a chair out in the backyard
And the kids will come by later on
And they'll all pretend nothing is wrong

[Chorus]
He's got bicycle tires and lawnmower parts
Miles of wires and kitchen drawer knobs
Transistor radios, scrap metal
Hand-me-down tools, one of everything
He's got old keys to unlock unknown things
Unknown things, unknown things
Unknown things, unknown things

[Verse 5]
The Fixer washes the grease from his hands
Turns off the light by the basement stairs
Kneels down, elbows on the bed next to her
And prays he can find a way
Prays he can find a way to fix her
To fix her
Oh, to fix her
