Were you named for the river that surrounds
|
all my biggest mistakes?
|
Or the way that I made it out?
|
|
All the muscles in my mouth
|
never smiled or said profound things
|
Until the day she handed you to me.
|
|
For all the steps you'll take
|
and all you'll overcome
|
I wanna be the one to put it in a song.
|
Take every single tear
|
for all the world to hear.
|
I wanna be the one to put it in a song.
|
|
Cigarettes are raining hard
|
on the upper east side.
|
She brings me a cake,
|
we celebrate
|
I have arrived.
|
And I know that it's been sang before,
|
but you're my human holiday.
|
I put my hands to the table and dare to say...
|
"the love of my life?"
|
|
And your brother with his best friend
|
share the name of an inebriate
|
that couldn't bring me down!
|
|
For everything you've lost,
|
and all you've overcome
|
I wanna be the one to put it in a song.
|
Take every single tear
|
for all the world to hear
|
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
|
|
And make it last forever.
|
Clever comes from truth.
|
When the truth begets the past
|
it sends a call up to the moon
|
and the moon can see the beauty that surrounds
|
Your heart as it pounds.
|
It starts the beat
|
inspiring me
|
Until I make a sound.
|

I Wanna Be The One
|
| Fun. |
