lyrics

LET ME BE THE ONE

She leans in close whispers in my ear
come on babe let's get out of here
I need the night outside to get clear
I know she loves those smoky crowds
to sing those songs right out loud
but she needs me closer still to show her how
to forget herself, where she's been
to pick her up and lay her down again
it's a long way down when there's no place left to run
Reach for me babe, let me be the one

I still remember those sleepless nights
mattress never did fit right
two's a crowd when you push with all your might
singing songs of past heartbreak
memories that you just can't shake
they're all just reruns playing in your mind
forget yourself and where you've been
lay it down and pick it up again
it's a long way down when you're out there on the run
reach for me babe let me be the one

She leans in close whispers in my ear
come on babe let's get out of here
I need the night outside to get clear
forgive yourself and all your sins
lay it down all those might've beens
it's a long way down when there's no place left to run
reach for me babe let me be the one
(that you run to, when it overcomes you)
reach for me babe let me be the one
