There are people I know,nThey don't seem to mind or if they do they do it don't show,nBut I can't sleep at night,nUnless I know that you're tucked up tight,nAnd I know I sound paranoid,nBut I've been that way since I was a boy,nKnee height,nStage Fright,nEven if you're alright,nI want to be,nthe first to know.nI know it was a long time ago,nYou left on your own and you were curbcrawled home,nI still kick myself now,nI should have never allowed you out my sight,nAnd I cross my heart,nHope to die,nIf anything happens to you when you're out of my sight,nI want to be the guy who steps in the way,nWhen you're in harms' way,nI want to be the first to know.nIf you want some space just squeeze my hand girl,nI'll understand,nYou don't have to lie,nWe're on the same side girl,nI don't want to be a ball and chain,nI'm just afraid of change,nAnd I'm not ashamed,nIf you think I want to hold you back,nyou should know me better than that,nI just want to be the first to know.
