Give me a minute and I'll tell you stories of the life I used to have and the family I'm from,nBack in a town where the water tasted good and i could still sleep fine,nGo back in time before I met the reason that I can't lie still at night, with my hands along my side,nThose easy times, no sign of cares in adolescent minds.nnDo you believe me when I look this happy?nYou only see it 'cause you standing with me,nWhen you are gone I see these looks go distant,nYou only see it when your standing with me.nnTake a minutes see the situation as we left it long ago, in my room, after my show,nSo many months fell in that one little night that I thought was fine,nSure the cut was deep but I am not so poor that I will let it get me down, not the family I'm from,nAll those singles nights, and crazy thoughts in my aggressive mind.nnDo you believe me when I look this happy?nYou only see it 'cause you standing with me,nWhen you are gone I see these looks go distant,nYou only see it when your standing with me.nnI wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,nI wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,nI know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,nAnd we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.nnSee I don't get it, I could never do enough and I was so on top of you, everything you were into,nBack in a time when everything was fine, or at least I thought so,nI have something better than the run-of-the-town kinda richer, kinda plain, ones you see on the L train,nAnd I don't know how you get on with anyone but me.nnI wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,nI wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,nI know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,nAnd we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.nnI wanna be the only one, the only one, that's knocking at your door,nI wanna be the anchor and the saving grace that holds you always,nI know it's not lost on you, I still see something in your eyes when I look in,nAnd we can move right to put both feet on the ground, so you can let your guard down.nnDo you believe me when I look this happy?nYou only see it 'cause you standing with me,nWhen you are gone I see these looks go distant,nYou only see it when your standing with me.n
