I'll Be

Edwin McCain - I'll be

The strands in your eyes,
that color them wonderful
Stop me, and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains,
thrust towards 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 cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life

And 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 and 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
And stand at the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

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

I've dropped out, burned up,
and fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on,
Remembered the things that you said

And i'll be, your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when i'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
