Answer 1

Hal Ketchum - Past The Point Of Rescue

Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how
Couldn't get enough of kissing, do you know how much you're missing
No you don't, but I do

The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions are amusing, do you know how much you're losing
No you don't, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do

I swore I'd never fall like this again
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again
Can't close the door on likely hood
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
No you don't, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do

But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do




Emotionally you can go backwards. You've either fallen so hard in love that you can't imagine ever NOT loving or needing this other person. Or....it could be that you are so hurt and pained that you will never recover. Let's hope for your sake....it is the former. **Throws out a life line**

Answer 2

Past the point of rescue is the point in which any salvation of yourself or your situation is going to have to come from you; rescuing is no longer something someone else can do for you.

"It's going to take more than your best friend with a six pack and a bad blue movie this time dude..."

Answer 3

I was thinking.. like when there's an animal dying, like a horse for example.. and you had to put the gun to its head and pull the trigger, to end its suffering.. because it's "past the point of rescue".. and there's only one way to go.. just die.

Answer 4

When your life is like a barrel at the top of a waterfall right before it goes over the edge. Every once in a while, though, a person survives going over the waterfall. There's always hope, no matter how slim.

Answer 5

That's it's too late for rescueing

Answer 6

Too far gone. An old saying when a man fell off a whaler and sunk more than 2 fathoms.

Answer 7

I can answer most of your questions, but I am afraid you have me stymied. I can't rescue this question. Here, catch the rope and I'll pull you in.

Answer 8
