i'll be


the strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

stop me and steal my breath

emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky

never revealing their depth


tell me that we belong together

dress it up with the trappings of love

i'll be captivated

i'll hang from your lips

instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above


i'll be your crying shoulder

i'll be your love suicide

and I'll be better when i'm older

i'll be the greatest fan of your life


rain falls angry on the tin roof

as we lie awake in my bed

you're my survival

you're my living proof

my love is alive not dead


tell me that we belong together

dress it up with the trappings of love

i'll be captivated

i'll hang from your lips

instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above


i'll be your crying shoulder

i'll be your love suicide

and i'll be better when i'm older

i'll be the greatest fan of your life


i've been dropped out

burned up

fought my way back from the dead

tuned in

turned on

remembered the things that you said


i'll be your crying shoulder
i'll be your love suicide
and i'll be better when i'm older
i'll be the greatest fan of your life
